Get the coilies, you will soon find out how poor the suspension really is on the mk4 even with cheap coilovers.

Got pulled by the 5-0 earlier .... again! Saw him pull out behind me at a roundabout, followed me down the by-pass for about half a mile then the ol blues and two's came on, so pulled over (knew it was coming anyway lol). Walked up to my window and said:

"The reason I have pulled you over is because of your insurance, now it says you have insurance but I noticed your car is modified"

Told him who i was insured through and that it was a modified car policy (which it is but he didn't check ... maybe he already knew that lol). He then went on to say:

"I'm also worried that you're running your car so low the tyres cant actually turn without hitting the arches, can you turn the wheels on full lock?"

So I did, and then he came out with:

"Oh, right! it goes up!"

Even now im not too sure what he meant by it goes up but he seemed to be happy, he then went on to say:

"Well at least you have done it properly, im for ever pulling lads over with wheels that are constantly hitting the arches, cut springs that just not safe to be on the road. A lot also seem to have crashed into Halfords with sticky tape (I think he had been waiting to say that line to somebody lol). Very nice car mate, thank you!"

Then just got back in his car, came up along side me at the next roundabout gave me the thumbs up and went. Nice chap  :grin:

As the wheels camber when you turn to full lock the front of the car will lift a little. Seemed like a nice copper. He would have said don't sell it as well.

One thing I've never got with Bora's, why do some cars have headrests with holes in the middle and some (mine included) don't!?

I really don't know mate, none of the models seem to have a consistent interior. I prefer the headrests with out the holes but on uk mkivs a couple of users have said they have no idea what my seats are as they seem to be a mix of different styles lol
