Hi mate.

Been tempted by some of these.

Do you have any more pictures? From the back etc?

Got a 6R and want a rough idea of how these will sit.

Cheers!

Mine was similar spec to that but in red.

As much as it pains me to say it and for you to hear it...if you get 12K (private) for it mate you've done well. I started mine at £13000 and it went for £11995. Mine only had 14000 miles on the clock too and was on the market for 4 months :(

Hopefully ...

I think you run into problems when you go for the lower springs 35/50

Also vw's on lowering springs dont go low enough

Golf R reps?

Thanks for that mate!

Been thinking about either these or Bilstein's.....just nice to hear some first hand experience.


bii3h

To be fair mate.....I hear nothing but good things about Bilstein kits. If that be coilovers, shocks etc. I believe they have a model of shortened shocks (cant remember the name) these would work well with your springs. There a good brand mate.....and without me trying to sound snobbish.....you do ...

£300!!!!

I'm sure they're like £250 each from the stealers?

Good find.....and looking good

This is coming along nice pal!

Your KW's.....what do you think to them? Are they the variant 1's that are about £800 if you dont mind me asking?

bii3h

I like them too.....always liked that style.

I'm sure you've looked at these aswell.....? Not too dissimilar?

Yo guys!

Returning member here. Been off the scene for around 9 months with work but, I've been skulking around here and other sites getting back into the swing of it and i'm finally behind the wheel of another VW.

Anyway, lets go down memory lane! Some of you may remember me from meets etc from ...

Looks awsome on the dare rims

Stance is perfect too!

bii3h

Stretch tyres, camber and slam!!!

Like you say most off the shelf wheels and OEM VW for that matter are ET 51 /52 if i remember correctly?

If you are unable to source a a lower offset wheel.....could just get the ET 52 (approx) and put 10mm spacers on bringing it down to 42 (ish) ?
