its gonna be a bit more bumpy by my understanding, not alot though, had a mate with a 2ltr and bbs 18s, couldnt really tell much difference

Cheers James only asking because I asked the bloke why would he swap 18" for my 15" and he just said he wants smaller because 18" are alot more of a bumpy ride I'm trying to get as much info about them as ill be driving 60 miles to get them and abviously be driving home with the 18's on looking at the pic would you say the bore and ect... Will be ok for my car

i believe so pal, they look like RS6's or reps if not original. all mk4s are the same stud pattern, you'd be a bit better off with standard suspension, when you get back it may be worth while replacing the bumpstops.

Bumpstop never heard of them what are they for and where would I get them from

[GTi_James]

these:

think they're designed to stop some of the harshness on the shocks

[Mark b]

Are they easy to fit and will these take some of the bumpyness away once the 18's are on

not sure pal, mine split across the middle so theyre in two halfs atm, not lowered and it feels a bit ruff in the back when going over bumps apparantly, new ones could help with dampening the judder but not drastically, may be worth while looking into you mounts as well tbh all the bushes etc

[Mark b]

With 18's on will I need to do the mounts and brushes or is that just an option ? Sorry if I sound thick but still learning lol

[GTi_James]

its an option, my view is that if you can do them then why not? n dont worry about the questions bud, thats the only way you'll learn

[Mark b]

How much do you reckon it'll cost to do the mounts and brushes
