The wheels actually look quite good now, suprising how much a difference lowering makes especially to the mk3.

I didn't to low at the mo as I havnt rolled the arches yet plus I'm gona wait till I get the wheels I want before I no how low to have it.
The coilys I have go down a max of 120mm so on the front I am 20mm away from the bottom of thread ad on the back I'm 60mm from the bott thread so is that 100mm front and 60 on the rear? Or don't it work like that? I Duno  :grin:

Cheers mate yeah they will do till I get some decent ones. So gutted I had to pass on getting your exhaust due havin to fix the suspension. My exhaust is blowing like a b!tch.
And both the back box and middle box sound like a box of rust when you shake them.
I had to take the backbox off, cut the swept down tips off so I could get a rod down it to clean out all the crap to stop it blocking up. But now it's blowing on my plastic bottom skirt bit and heating it up. It's starting to warp abit from the heat now  :grin:
