eoghan Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi all. This is my first post on the forum. Just got me a nice loop 1.0, sexy little black number as I like to call it. Was in the market for a mk2 golf but after seeing you guys's cars cars in PVW I was hooked.First things first, can anybody tell me where I can get my hands on some good cheap coilies or springs that will get the bad boy sitting low? Planning on putting Ronal Turbos on her so at what drop do we run into rubbing etc.?And does anybody know about fixing broken wipers? The drivers side one works but the passengers side is just lying there limp.Cheers guys and gals, any feed back would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lauryn Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 No, no arch work has been done but with the roads round where I live, I either need to do something with them and maybe drop it another cheeky 10mm, or it might have to be lifted a tiny bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're nice and cheap on ebay.dewith the right tyre size mayb a 185/45/15 or something similar u should prob get away with et28 as long as u aint to low as lauryn said. for stretch u would need a 165/"/15 Edited June 11, 2008 by scoobydoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
