Hopefully :)

Also, if anyone knows anyone looking for a mk4, then my dads friend is selling one :)

Its clean and well looked after but he's moving onto a Rav4 to keep the family of 4 happy :rolleyes: (and not squeezing into a 3dr)

Well... 12 pages, 1 service, lots of moaning, and no progress other than installing some sounds...

Coilovers and New disks and pads all round going on today :smiley: Not going to be slamming it though, just to stiffen up the ride and drop a little bit

Before:





During.. lol



After:









Fronts are about halfway down, and the rears have 1 - 1.5cm left to go. I need this car to drive nicely and last with the miles I do, so dont want stupid low, went for driveability/comfort mostly. Got rid of the majority of the arch gap even though it still looks quite a lot in the pics. Overall I'm happy :)

Didn't do the brakes though as I was given the wrong pads from the shop :rolleyes: so that will be happening on tuesday I think.

looking good mate :afro: I think your wise to keep it that height so you can actually drive it comfotably, im going down the same route with my Bora and only go 40mm dont want a bouncy harsh ride like my old mk3  :grin:
