The rears are all the way down....but still have some spines to go down on the front if i want too.....

If you take the adjusters off the back they will give a bit more. I did that in my mi4 and it tucked slightly.

I am running 215/35/18 alround so need it to go lower still.

The rears are pretty close to the tyre ..i can just about get 1 finger between..ive still got 225/40/R18 on the back. thinking about rolling the arch's ...

You got a link for the chrome gti badge on the front grille mate?

[Deano45]

Hi ..buddy just the standard genuine oem grill badge .....

[graham-gti]

hi mate,

hows the ride feeling now that you've had the coilies fitted a few days??

also you got pressed plates?

[Deano45]

Hello buddy ....good news and bad news car handles great ....but I think the ride is a little hard for my liking or maybe it's me getting old..it's a shame really because handles like a dream ....thinking now about eibach sportline springs and maybe some bilstein shocks

As for the numbers yeah pressed plates ...should of got these ages ago....

[graham-gti]

Its a tricky one to get comfort and handling I suppose.

Car is looking sweet mate i think its your car anyways. If it is I'm parked behind it. My cars a mess so dirty. Yours looks like glass compared to mine.

You fitted the spacers to the front?? The wheels are really filling the arches and it looks great.

[Deano45]

Cheers buddy....Yeah it is a difficult one getting the balance....going to leave it a couple of days before I make my mind up...

As for the car being clean .... Just like you poor boys black hole and dodo juice..

10mm wheel spacers on the front to clear the R32 brakes.....

[graham-gti]

It looks soo good. would be a shame if you decided to take them off.

Sweet I'm going to look at getting some dodo juice, I've heard good things about it.

[Deano45]

I do like the look of the car with them on I must admit it handle well.. But it's just the comfort side for me.

Will keep you posted ... They may be for Sale soon

As for the dodo juice get some you won't be disappointed .....

[graham-gti]

How come you've ditched the coilies for springs mate? Too crashy?

I'm on H&R springs and standard shocks and it rides quite nicely, but I keep thinking I'd like it a bit lower. Just don't want to end up ruining the ride though, which means I might have to pay big money for some coilies with adjustable damping.

[Deano45]

hi yeah a little bit hard for me ...people have told me i should have gave them more time to soften up.. they are fixed damping set at 30% i guess standard shocks are set about 60%.....

They wouldn't soften up by much at all so you've probably done the right thing. I've found some coilovers are ok in the summer but get really harsh and crashy in colder weather. Standard GTI shocks seem to work well with Eibach and H&R springs and you still get a decent drop.
