For what you want I'd recommend the KW V1 or Weitec Hicon GT's. Both great coilovers. We supply them at fantastic prices if you are interested.

Little_Dave - are those wheels machined? 9J rears?

Ive got the same staggered set in 18's and need to run them at -3 neg camber for arch clearence... do ya get alot of poke with them?

Yeah same Calibre vinatge set as yours mate had them put on back in May  :drinking: i saw your build thread when u mentioned you were getting some and left a congrats on them looking sweeeet when u put up pics  :happy2:

How much drop you running on yours then? i'm only wound down about 40mm so not tucked or i'd need some camber too, got a bit of poke and get a bit of rubbing when i'm conering hard on bumpy roads but 215 tires help out alot

Dave

Aaaaah cheers bro!  :happy2:

Ive dropped her 60mm on the back...  rubs on motorways and other bumy roads.. but will raise her soon.. gonna deck the front soon tho..

That 60mm over your standard height?  :laugh: IIRC yours is a 1.6 Golf? They are a bit higher to start with. Thinking about taking mine down a touch more but only about another 5mm or so... had 2 mates in the back the other day and couldnt get my finger between the tire and the arch  :scared: you got any pics of the rear on that drop??  :smiley:
