Can any of you get out your doors if you park beside a kerb? I'm at stock (aka 4x4) height and only have half an inch under my door at some of the pavements here.
lol like most in this thread it usually begins with gingerly opening the door and assessing whether or not if its possible to squeeze out the gap or climb out the passenger side

14s.....
love those wheels
what wheels are on the gti in the pic with the arosa?

easy test to do mate is drive along a flat road and let go of the steering wheel, and see if the car wants to go off to the side, or even if the steering wheel is 'steering' to go straight

just try get the ones with the lowest quoted drop you can, it won't be as they say it is, its just a guideline in actual fact. besides you can always get busy on them if the drop isnt good enough for you.. you can chop springs, remove helpers, cut down bumpstops, fit smaller springs, smaller top mounts etc.
as for drilling new holes for the rear damper, ommfffg!
these little cars are surprisingly driveable on the floor too

just thought i'd add that my bbs are 7j et38 and the inner lip sits incredibly close to the coilover adjuster ring, i'd suggest getting the smaller 165, not only will it look better it'll leave you more scope to go lower without issues

if you're feeling lift at those speeds then somethings badly wrong nothing to do with aero. can't say i've felt any lift

lol fair enough mate everyones entitled to their opinions. yeah its just sleaford thats a no-go, with the cops throwing their vague laws at me. 'might' 'could' etc. its total BS. ah bens only had a producer, no biggie.
its also mainly laziness for me as well with lows. get it down and leave it there, raise it and have to track it again, thats money for making it look gay lol
-
oe but chopped nicely lol. tried them on my mates lupo and he's running 14" th-lines and it sat the arches on the rim protectors on the tyres. his wheels poke a little bit though.
-
& thanks for the compliments
-
aha
caused me no hassle really from the drop, just plate up the subframe regularly. was used to everything falling off on my previous cars lol.rear springs still here
-
i don't see the point of dropping a car for a few days of the year for shows, i see it everyday and it should be slammed err'day
sparks are so pretty in the rear view i've got some spare rear springs if anybody wants them, little bit higher than the ones i have in but still plants its ass on the floor
-
hehe thankss. yes. dailyy!
good evening
-
dont think you need to take the bumper off mate. some douche kicked one of diego's fogs in and getting it back where it should i noticed theres 2 brackets with screws on them (awkward) and then the bottom bit clips in. more straightforward then i expected.. need to get your arch liner out if you have one first though
-
don't count him out yet
biit misleading cos of the shape of the road cos i just set the camera down on the floor and took the photo but
get a good idea of the arch to rim action lol. and thats looking up at it from the floor
it is true i tore the sump apart on the way to a show, ran outta chemical metal and that tape was the only thing we could scrounge hah!
ripped my hand to **** today fiddling with the fronts again so its a little bit lower than them photos, but should be better when the helpers gonna come out when the new polo 6n2gti engine goes in. need a sump now!
why do gti clocks only go to 140mph when diego's go to 160? hmmmmm
-
any idea where the boss came from? also got same wheel and been putting off getting a custom one made

easy peasy
flipped the engine mount drivers side to raise it 20-ish mm, still running all original wiring just different inlet and throttlebody cos its cable 
(might be cos its diego, lupos might need the entire loom i don't know
