Title: wheel not central
Post by: DarkGti on 02 July 2010, 23:20

decided to wind down the rear coilovers today to make me feel a little better about the stance but now it looks cack the wheel sits way too far forward in the arch, ive looked at other mk4's and they dont have this problem do you think my rear beam is damaged?

When lowering the rear of the car with an aftermarket suspension, the rear trailing arms begin to swing toward the front of the car pushing the rear tires into the front area of the wheel opening.

there are some spacers/plates you can fit (http://www.mason-tech.com/greatplatesCW1.asp) to move the wheel back to a central position

Sorry if you guys misunderstood what I was saying.
I was saying if Lewis's mate can get them CNC'd then you could all benefit from them if he could make you a few sets if you get what I mean
