i think am going to need some spacers 10mm should be fine but where to get the cheapest from and of good quality can anyone help as i am new to all this spacers thing.
found these but was hoping for cheaper http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150423695586&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Yep there em, Youll won't get a set cheaper than £45 as the FK/Eibach ect.. sets are expensive.
-
but are the cheap ebay ones ok or will they possiable break or cause problems?
also i just thought will i lose the use of the sercurity bolts i alreeady have?
-
They're fine, they're cheaper because there made of steel, Expensive ones are make of light/strong grades of ally.
Ideally best getting a lighter set so you aren't increasing your unsprung weight alot but if your not bothered go for it.
And as long as your locking nuts still reach to turn 2 threads or so thats fine, You have 4 other bolts torqued up.

yes you can buy longer locking bolts if your alloys are oem not aftermarket or reps then grayston do a 60mm length set pt number LB163 i have a set of these and cut two front and two rears down to the size required for me running spacers :wink:

-
Standard length is 28mm, if they're 60mm,theres 32mm of spacing, More than enough, Cut to length

I bought a set of 4 20mm hubcentric spacers. i think 20mm is too wide for front wheels.
i am looking for a set of 10mm hubcentric for the front wheels, could do with an exchange?
anyone interested? :wink:

1)You will indeed need 8 more longer bolts,unsure if VW sell them but i know Awesome Gti do
2)The std thread length of a mk4 golf bolt is 28mm,so you'll need 39mm thread length bolts.
3),yes it is fine to cut down wheel bolts,personally i'd put a nut of it and when you take the nut back off it will clean the thread up for you.

If you put a nut onto the bolt and cut the bolt where required,when you take the nut back off it will clean up the end of the thread so it can be bolted in without cross threading.
I buy my bolts from here

Do not buy from this company.
They are scammers....
I bought some vectra lights from them in march,....im still waiting...i cancelled last month and requested my money back....im still waiting...no one will respond to my e-mails...the manager wont speak to me....I have only ever spoken to 1 person at their office....and shes a right lying f**k*r. Trust me
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY OR THEIR WEBSITE!!!
Google them on google maps and read their shocking reviews. Try their facebook page too essexracing. These f**k*rs are a disgrace.
---------------------------
I Bought Volkswagen Golf MK4 Black LED Tail Lights from Essex Racing on the 27th of April 2010.
They were out of stock therefore i asked them to cancel he order on 28/04/10
I made a payment of £150 via internet on their website
I have been waiting for 30 days now,
They are rude and keep me waiting on the phone.
The woman who pick up the phone told me that i can report the company if i want to or do whatever i want
They said that i have to speak to account department which open at 1pm to 4pm but the line is always busy when i am on the phone.
I have not received my money back.
Now they said they will send me a cheque, so i am waiting
