hmm tempting. im thinking about getting some 16v alloys. i think they suit the mk5. specially the 5 door as it looks longer o i t hink chunkier wheels suit it more. that way cause theyre a standard alloys they wont be as wide as after market s can lower it more and make it look better. u got coilies? if so wat ones? u get n e knocking noises? n e problems getting the camber done?

I'm strongly considering Cupra seats. May look at prices to get the centres re-trimmed
Loving the new stance mate.

No dont get no knocking, why should i? i got new top mounts too, there the ta technix ones. did the camber myself, its easy enough, you could do it yourself, just when you fit the struts make sure you pull the strut towards you!
Aii Tim there nice seats mate! thanks for the reply

Camber adjustment is in the bolts that conenct the hub to the strut. So if you pull the bottom of the strut out as you bolt them up it'll keep the camber neutral.

as Tim says, BUT it wont be accurate but will keep the camber to a minimum! just normal standard top mounts mate, no worries for all the questions......afterall thats what a forum is for

u mean the standard vw top mounts? i might see about getting some new ones or upgraded ones when i get paid. maybe even loer my car more and get the camber done. altho it only just cleared the kerb last night in the car park when i went out so dunno if i wanna lower it much more.

yeah, standard top mounts and bearings, nothing wrong with the standards really,
