If you're seriously considering shifting the weight distribution around by fitting CF panels, I reckon you'll be needing the kind of adjustment you'll only get with coilovers.. especially if you're having some hurdy-style meaty brakes!

Really... hmmm. OK.  Will speak to JKM about this thanks.  But now you have got me thinking... I don't want to negatively affect the car handling by adding CF panels.  Maybe i'll drop the rear hatch CF - Hurdy, any ideas?

The anti-lift kit should help with restraining the balance of the car if you lighten the front end. A big brake kit, CF wings(wings or wing mirrors Illyun?) and bonnet would see the front end lighter by around 20kg or so and so wouldn't alter the balance by too much IMHO.

Thanks for that... I'll just do the bonnet, wing mirrors and grill then.  :evil:

Nah, mine are fakeys. ET45 so they fill the arches nicely. Originals are ET55 IIRC so basically sqaush up against the struts.

The ebay auction lists the ET as 25?

yeah those are mk4 fitment, which would need atleast a 20mm adaptor leaving you with an ET of 5mm.. which will put the wheels a smidge over an inch outside the wheel arches
