Will you also need to replace all the bolts?

Glad you've fixed it, now let me in part some wisdom I found out the other day. We have radial bolts not tapered, its not the end of the world but get them emailed and tell them to swap the bolts for the right bolts that should always be supplied for a mk7 golf!

Good tip, thanks. They're en route but I'll drop them an email to raise the subject.   Do you still run the fronts without spacers?

Yeah, no doubt I'll change that when I get bored but right now I don't think the fronts need it and if they do its only like 10mm so it ain't worth it imo but as I say I'm sure I will do one day
