will look good mate but you'll need some adapters to make them fit- luckily though the adapters will alos serve as spacers which will be good!  et52???

Will need slamming to get the 17's to look right IMO. Hope you ain't got many speed bumps around your way as the sump hang's low on mk4 golfs! Mine's pretty low at the front and it's a right pain at times!  :undecided:

What coilovers you going for?

didnt realised the sump is low on these. well iam goin to give the hot tunning coilovers a blast see how they go i have heard mixed reports on them but for the price its got to be worth a shot. but after wot u have said might have to look for some 18`s as there are a few speed bums around lol actully alot

Hi mate,

I've got the jamex coilovers which are basically the same units as the hottuning ones. The problem i have is the back is fully wound down but not as low as the front.

I'm considering taking the adjuster ring's out at the back to get another 10mm down. Only thing is if it's too low there is no adjustment inbetween.

Most people don;t want there car slammed to feck anyway so they suit most people's needs. I think i want the back down a tad lower though so i may try this.

There good value for money though, not sure if you could pull off the 17's look with then though..  :wink:
