This was all friday night. Saturday saw a trip to B&Q for an 18 mil. This came out & adjuster ring off And back in Much better Couldn't get the bolt out on the other side though So it's about 10mm higher on the n/s rear, it's settled fairly level though tbf. Also got the front door cards in & now my car is lovely & low again, Mrs Koop has nicked it as the Polo's gearbox is leaking oil Also she had banging/rattling noises, found this has come detached Had a fiddle trying to clip it back on & a ball bearing dropped out so it's looking like a new top mount will be needed! Local garage are having a look tomorrow. Hoping to God the gearbox is just a knackered seal.

Needs arch rolling to go any lower really. I tried! So here's where we started...jacked up Threads cleaned off with a wire brush Line of copper grease down the thread Dropped after first attempt Doesn't look that low... That's cos it was still sat on the jack, oops. Got it out by lifting with one of these... Max 630 kg! All the cars they provide with these weigh considerably more than that, no wonder they drop cars on people! That's more like it With one side done the other side already need a jack to get the jack under With 2 sides done, it appears I went a bit far Looks awesome like this Rake Arches were eating the tyres on test drive though So it came up a bit Looks like loads of arch gap here, the stretch isn't helping There really isn't though, can barely get a finger in! Not mega low, but low enough imo Once I was happy I jacked up again & re-greased the threads Rear still needed lowering badly Didn't have an 18mm spanner to get the adjusters out so just had to wind it down as far as I could for now From here... To here Pikey style. Not bad Gap, but much better

There's loads of threads on here about this, there's one called gti conversion for dummies I think. Have a search & report back if you can't find owt. -
Nice work, when are the wheels going on?

You could use spring assistors, Mitch had them on his arosa iirc

Yup, when you take the badge off you'll see it's attached with what look like little plastic rivets, you can carefully drill or melt them, or even carefullier prise it apart with a screwdriver or something, ideally wrapped in cloth, & putting pressure as close to the 'rivets' as possible to pop each one in turn.

Sammys Stupid Low 3L Front End Lupo! 16" Steelies
Koop replied to Sammy Lupo's topic in Member's Cars
Might as well re-drill on a 4 stud, should be plenty of room -
Wrapped bits look tops, nice work

I'm pretty anal but my laziness takes over haha

This would drive Mrs Koop mad, when the wipers don't stop at the bottom if they're on when she stops she'll turn the ignition back on until they return

This is looking well tasty. 16s are the future.
