Haha. If there's a few of us in the convoy, probably best to meet up somewhere fairly central to us all then set off from there?

We could call it Showcase again if that's easy for everyone?

If not, suggestions on a postcard please!:D

Go for it get it done.
I wish I'd done mine 60 rather than just 40 but i dont think it'd of made it up my road.

think i'm gunna go for 50 springs as other ppl have done it 60mm on springs and had no problems so 50mm should be fine. only thing that concerns me is the clearance on my exhaust as there are speed bumps all over where i live not just the small one either big fat slugs in the road!!!! lol

Id worry about your front splitter also, i had to reverse into the KWIK FIT garage the other day, front rubbed and im not even lowered yet!

Phill.

there is a silver 16v in the for sale section lowered 60mm on 16" wheels and the clearance dont seem too bad so i think mine will be ok *fingers crossed* just have to take it steady over the bumps!! anyone know any place round the wakefield/dewsbury area that will do the work for me?

Don't know anywhere in Wakey/Dewsbury, I got mine done at a place in Halifax, mate of mine Â£60 for swapping the suspension over. It'll look so sweet when it's lowered.

Jill, yours looks good as it is on 40 to be honest, sits nicely on the TT rims.

hopefully will look good

hope i can get it done in time for the show though!! what springs did you use Tom?

Where can I get centre caps to cover the audi symbol lol.
