no worries, howd you get on with larger spacers?

also just realised, if you combined the banna men and the pom pom girl, it looks like a 3some or like shes skiiing lol :)

hahahaha  :jumpmove: :pomppomp: :jumpmove:

I gave them to my buddy who just got a mk1 tt 3.2

I can always get them back at somepoint. Just wish i was better at calculating offsets etc. I could have probably ran them if I added some camber in the rears but I do a lot of miles to work so don't want to be going through tyres any quicker than I have to.

where did you get your notch done by the way and how much??

If you decide you want something even lower, let me know!

Tell me about it re: the front.

Dont want to fit an edition 30 splitter, but man, too much bumpy stuff in the road to get the front down anymore on mine - iv got at least 30 mm i COULD go...

It was on a 2 hour run down to my work. 50% motorway 50% b roads. I just stayed at about 60mph behind a wagon and chilled out.

Errr ride is ok I guess. I'm no expertthough. I've only drove racelands and vmaxx on my old mk4. Don't go low enough on the fronts though.
