What size are the d90's? 8's? Any problems with them going on?? Looked rather nice at inters.. Have you made any changes to your cracking mk4?

Hi ya. Yeah they are 8's all round but not sure what width adaptors as they are from my MK2. I tucked all 4 arches and have no scrubbing.

The mk4 is going to be for sale after E38 as it just sits in the garage. I have spent the money in my head on finishing the G60 and going to town on the R32 biggrin.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

I have decided the car will be much more usable with Air ride so today i made a start with the impossible task of fitting the management into the boot space of a gti.

First job was to remove the foam and relocate the battery.

5 gallon tank mounted

And finally for today, false floor cut to shape.

I hope to get the tank painted to match the wheels in the week and some alcantara for the floor and seat backs.

Cheers dude :)

I installed the air on Saturday but the stupid 16" wheels are stopping it going as low as i want it too.

I've got the front down now with a bit of camber but i need to narrow the axle to get the 9's in a bit.

Its getting there now.

The Airex struts are awesome. The bag is height adjustable like a coilover so i can set it really low and then it just lifts to normal height rather than 4x4 mode.

I cant wait to get it all set up.

Thanks, Its Campovola grey. I have it on my abarth and it always looks clean.

I am so spoilt :)

Hahaha yes!! It's such a stunning colour, I have it on my Abarth 500. Bit different to my obvious yellow Arosa!
