I had a set of GTI seats and wished I had kept them but sold them to a guy on here. Fitted the front eibach springs with FK mk5 golf front shocks at the weekend and while its not coilover low it looks good, going to do the rear on saturday and fit my new knob :laugh:. Front end is much better now no loss in comfort feels tighter and not as much bopping about. Pics to follow

Will check the door cards as  someone bought some of the old trim so  not sure if they were swapped.

I bought the seats off you Keith and I've just sold them on to another member on here about a month ago :happy2:

should get that at the weekend. theres a guy on here selling FK coilover kit, split it for the fronts might be good for more lows.

Tbh those rs/rm reps are tempting they come in stagered sizes also. Imo they will look awsome with your painted bumpers and some bbs caps. I think original bbs in 17/18 would be perfect in a dream world money no object but in reality not in my price range or practical for a work van.  :drool:

Well finally got the rear dropped pics are directly after so may have to settle a bit. first side took 1h25mins the other 30mins lol guff instructions from eibach.
Its not coilover low but then its not what I was after, i wanted a compromise which is what i have, ride is perfect and the handling for a van is much better. Going to get the steering setting changed on vagcom to stiffen it up a bit more. Next is a trip to skydz to get some new rims then the mk5 gti brake setup as the fronts pads and discs are making noises :laugh: also got a Alpine reverse camera to go in plus some rear speakers, delete the towbar and get a milltek. Top pic is pre purchase and the lower is from today.

Bought some alloys, tt reps 5x112 impulse buy on another forum. but the front brakes are very low and having the mk5 set up sitting about I wasn't about to get another caddy set just to use for a few hundred miles rooked now but did manage to buy a self tint film pack for the rear windows for 4.50 plus the vat :D Fit the alloys on sat, not new and a few marks but will do me until I can get the ones I want. might get these sprayed not sure on a colour but drawn to porsche orange :chicken:

Well here's the rims. I like them but the tyre size is questionable 215 think  225 may look better looks like am on elastic bands and any lowering seems to be lost on them. suggestions?



I am thinking of getting some House of Kolor paint and having them sprayed
