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

-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

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.

All tyre companies now say fit new to the rear. This is because they're less likely to aquaplane. I personally prefer the rear end to go rather then the front but they say it's easier for the back to go in a bend then the front (which for your average driver is true) and it's easier to control apparently.

As I said, I always find it easier to control oversteer BUT if they say it's easier for the back to go then the front, I guess it's true.

you thought about a s3 front lower strutbrace? think there about £20 ish from audi, well worth the money.

15mm spacers ordered for the fronts

Cheers stow

Spacers arrived this morning, they sent 19mm hex bolts instead of 17mm though

New ones will be with me tomorrow, I trial fitted one earlier to see how it would sit:





Now running 20mm rears and 15mm fronts, thinner tyres are going on the front tomorrow. The rear coilovers might have to come up a few mm to stop the rears from scrubbing the arches when going over bumps

Look in my thread, that will solve your arch issue!

I did consider that but it'll be a last resort! I'll trim the plastic inner arch liner but don't fancy attacking metal

Wheels have transformed it! Looking really good Dom
