Nice car dude! I am from Leeds, too, If you want to go out in a remapped car, let me know ;)

How do your Bentlys fit for use as I have a set of these lined up for ours but heard the fronts do not fit well and have clearance issues?

Cheers

The bentleys fit ok...i have a 225 tyre on them, they would probs be a lot better clearance wise with a 215 tyre but i think thats pushing it a bit on the safety side lol.

The rears fit nice in the arch but when i have any more than 2 people in, the arch just sits on the tyre but i never really have anyone in the back anyway.

The fronts need some camber and they rub when cornering hard but the KW top mounts im getting should sort this im hoping and im gonna get the arches rolled too.

When i drive steady and avoid the sh*tloads of pot holes they are fine!!

Whereabouts in Leeds are you from mate?

Hmm, Would you need camber plates if you had a smaller tyre size?

I was thinking of using 215/35/19 for maximum clearances and so you know, they are a  perfectly safe tyre size for thissize of wheel :smiley:

I live in Oakwood, near roundhay park! You?  :drinking:

Ben, you are going down the exact same route as me with the suspension. The reason why i sold you the V2s was because you cant fit the KW top mounts to them. The spring is a lot fatter on the V2  :sad1:

KW, VWR and pretty much all the other tuners i asked all said you cant even put them on V3's even though they do fit. Lots of reports of problems across Europe i believe.

Thats how i ended up with the clubsports. You can however buy other companies ones like White-line who sell them to fit most set-ups i think.  :happy2:
