handles good because 40mm drop on mk2's is the best thing you can do to it any lower and it makes the handling worse  :grin:

I think your the 2nd person in the whole of Glasgow to have a MK2 - me being 1st  :wink: Quick question - don't suppose you know any scrappies with any MK2's in them around Glasgow?

OE is the way to go these days I reckon! That's my plan, but like you a little lowering just to aid the handling.

Looks so right this car, only thing I might try and do is put some spacers on the rear wheels
