Dom's Mk4 Story So Far - it's all over!

i also want to know what front splitter this is!

[daz veedub]

its a votex front splitter 

[DubAndDubber]

ah, the ones that are impossible to get hold of!

As Daz says it's a votex valance, unfortunately it's taking a bit of a beating at the moment & is starting to get a bit damaged

Looks great..... what's going on with the tyre in the last shot, looks like half of it's going bald?

It does look a bit strange in that pic, the front tyres are fine though....I even went back outside to check it

The rears are pretty shot but I've ordered some 215/40/18 Falken 452s to replace them with, they'll then be put on the fronts. Should be on by the end of the week

Then I've just got to sort out the scrubbing on the rears, I can't even get my little finger between the arch & tyre when the handbrake is off

-1.5deg camber courtesy of some shims would do the trick.

Good shout, whats the deal with fitting shims? They easy enough to sort?

I don't want to raise it & the spacers are staying on so I guess that's the only option

theres a topic somewhere on camber shims but cant find the fecker

Why not go for a thinner spacer, camber shims will increase tyre wear.

Also see what your tyre fitter says but the last time I had 2 tyres I was advised to fit them to the rear, not sure why however.

Rear tyres with a bit of stretch might help?
