:D i know, not 100% sure as i thought it was too far away to rub but it seems like that is the case, going to look for evidence tomorrow :)

  • If I can't fix it at home, it ain't getting fixed.
I really can't wait to see how this sits ATM.... good work on the notching, shame it's not gone quite to plan but i'm sure you'll sort it.

Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

That's very true, mk3's seem to go very low without too much fuss!

As said the fronts down about 20mm ish but still not low enough! Seems like the steering arms are rubbing (constantly) so going to have to flip the tie rod ends over soon as really, turned out it wasn't the driveshaft so pretty happy about that! Going to try and get it done this week if i can get the parts :)

how much clearance have you got left to play with?.. knowing you, a fag packet depth is still like 4x4 territory in your eyes!  :grin:

Probably like a 20 pack of fag packet :( will try and measure tomorrow but considering ive only smashed the subframe 3 or 4 times its not too bad :)
