I got my coilovers fitted at last and managed to get the back looking as I wanted with my new Sport 16" wheels... I removed the adjuster to get it a little bit lower.

Problem is, if I fit spacers I think they are going to hit the arch :(

Do you not s**t yourself with how close the sump is to the floor with it being that low? Mine's pretty close now! And standard suspension. I couldn't lower mine with the roads down here. Plus I had to park in a :censored: gravel pit at work. :cry: my lovely blackness gets ruined!

In my opinion the back on yours is too low....i like it when there is a nice, even gap between the wheel and the tyre. Like 5mm gap. That's nice. :) everyone to their own and i respect that.

have to say, my stock suspension with a LCR splitter, only just clears some of the speedbumps up here. They are right massive things!

Thats what i mean. Plus i use mine for long distance a lot....and occasionally take 4 people plus luggage in. I'll be keeping mine standard ride height.

Got any pics of your new car Guiness? The 100pd's map nicely up to about 150.... :whistle:

You sold the silver pair is that right? The darker pair might look funny on a black car. I'll have to photoshop it!
Everyone wants your wheels, have to investigate how much they are from ebay as a dealers will be a rip off!

I sold a gunmetal grey set, I have my pearl grey vRS rims that are on the car at the moment left, and a set of 16'' BBS wheels, and a set of 17'' BBS wheels coming :D

They are £120 + vat from Skoda
