Yeha it has been lowered on Eibach pro springs but im very tempted to get collies as i want it lower should of got them in the first place i think :P but other things to buy before that!

They are S8 Alloys and I have only seen 1 other golf with them on which is nice as you hardly see them  :smiley:

I agree with collies, it doesn't look as if its been lowered already.

Post by: T_J_G on 27 February 2009, 19:15

I'm not sure what the obsession is with Eibach springs, most cars don't evben look lower when they're fitted :s

Title: Re: New Wheels Fitted, At last!

Yeah they look the dogs doo dahs mate
Word of warning with the metal dust caps though, make sure you undo them every once in a while, had em on my navara over winter and the salt/git had corroded them and they rusted to the valves, when it went in for a service the checked the tyre pressures and they were waaaaaaay out so the had to cut the valves off and fit new ones  :shocked: (only cost £20 to fix but it's £20 that could be better spent on beer)
