Probably rub because of the weight of the VR engine

Might be best to run a coil over setup on it so you can dial your height to where you want it. depending on the wheel and the width you will probably need your arches rolled. 17's are a bit tight on a standard height 16v. :)

Hey cheers Lads

Blue Mk2 it does have Vr springs and dampers on her! so they should be stonger to cope with the weight of the vr6 engine anyways

but becaus eof the 17" i was worried about rubbing!


8916vGTI i think you have just answered my question a set of adjustable coilover would be perfect! dont know why i never thought of that!! doh!!

cheers
