Well I am having trouble getting the suspension adjusted from rock hard to anything else! (the top adjusters are crap and don't seem to work! so on Monday the shocks will be off and we will see if they will adjust off the car. If not the monroe's that came off will be going back on! with the lower springs.
I have bought a pair of metal pressed plates and have surrounded them with (possibly unique in Britain?) surrounds from the region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Eastern Germany). and I finally got some pics without snow
this might show the ride height at -30mm which may not look the best but it is practical (the wife needs to drive the car and she's not good with speed humps etc!)
I think it will come down another 10mm when the shocks are softer? (plus the tracking/camber needs playing with!)
next....
std airbox with panel filter (I still have the pipercross to swap/sell)
std exhaust from cat back
some minor paint tidying (a couple of little rust blisters coming through the paint...which are typical 1996 Golf!!)
oh and spacers? 10mm max so I have some adjustability in more lowering
