« on: 28 April 2006, 13:55 »
I have bought a -40mm blistein kit for my mk2 8valve golf gti.

I need to know what this kit will look like with 16s or 15s.

Please post pics if you have any or links

Hey Ryan, looks good, I've got the same springs/shocks but haven't fitted them yet, have you had any problems with them, what's the ride like, Cheers, Shane.

The rides good the now but it does only have standard shocks at the moment. I have a set of adjustable konis going on it next week and some dropped spring caps so hopefully the ride will be even better. I have had no probs at all with them so far.

Thanks for the postings,

I think I am gonna go for 16s with my kit.  I will see how low it is with my 17s on fost and post pics when I have put them on.

In the meantime I will continue with my engine swap.

thanks again.
