Probably will have to resort to the cheaper ones like KW, Weitec...etc
KW's arent cheaper, they are more expensive than the eibachs.
But KW are an awesome bit of kit.

Will you be selling the tt comps if you get the alloys your after? I'm wanting some and yours look very nice in silver (don't like them highly polished!) If you are selling pm me. Thanks!

Finally took the adjuster out the back, thought It was only 10mm but was more like 20mm

How its sitting now

Image

Image

I also put the 8mm spacers on I have had for months but we had a problem, the rear axle in not central and the tyre was rubbing constantly on the n/s rear arch

Never got a pic with them on but this is what its like without

Image

Anyone got any idea why the axle might be further to the n/s? Could it be the bushes?

Everyones does it.

Need great plates to sort it out.

I prefer it when the wheel sits slightly forward. Its more noticable the lower you go and if your on bigger wheels.

What I mean is the axle is sitting to one side.

On the n/s the wheels sits flush with the arch, but on the o/s I have about 10mm of tuck :roll:

I was hoping to see another update if you get my drift ;)

How hard is to fit the shark-fin aerial? Just undo the bolt underneath the headlining and take it from there? Is it fiddly to undo the bolt once you drop the headlining from the C-pillar? Think this will be my next mod. Listen to the iPod most of the time, so not really bothered about reception.

Edit: What rear spoiler is that? Votex or GTi?

Ash :)
