On the pescera's did you run spacers or not? Also what tyre size were you running on them?
I literally religiously follow this car on Instagram, such a minter.

I only ran spacers behind the pescara's so the TTRS's would fit otherwise I didn't. Tyres are 225/40 on them I think.
Thanks man really appreciate that. What's your Instagram?

12.5mm but it's ridiculously tight. Had to remove the wheel weights as they were rubbing on the caliper so I'd recommend 15mm. It never rubbed but I didn't ride that low and also only ran the spacers for a week before I changed the wheels.

Were your arches rolled? I just can't fathom how your wheels were able to steer when on coilies, It seemed very low.

Also were the helpers in on the front coils or not?

The arches weren't rolled and still aren't now

It was fairly low but not unable to steer low lol. There was still a fair amount of thread left on the fronts. It occasionally rubbed if taking a corner fast.

Thats alright then, I'm basically just trying to replicate the stance you had on the coil overs. Do the Apex have helper slings, and did you leave them in?

Update on lots of bits and bobs...

Very chuffed to have picked up two awards in two weeks for the Edition

Last weekend I came away with Top 20 in Show and Shine at GTI Spring Festival and yesterday came runner up in best MK5 at Early Edition. Still in shock especially after yesterday's award.

Last week was time for the dreaded yearly MOT

Happy to say she passed with flying colours and with no advisories.

Few new parts too. Firstly the GTI seat inserts which I've been meaning to buy since I bought the car. Actually surprising how much of a difference they make when you open the door.
