the arch gap in the wheels were absolutely horrific and i couldn't stand to continue to look at it, something had to be done right??
placed my order consisting of
vorgtland
lowering springs 35mm even
10mm and 12mm hub centric spacers with longer bolts
car was lowered but met with some
Problems. The passenger side bolt ended up snapping on the wiper motor and I required new wiper motors. Was done gently but still snapped off. Went scrap yard found a new motor for £35 thought winner. Then the drivers side wouldn’t work? And that wasn’t even the problematic motor in the first place. Went back and got the other side and low and behold both started working so means they had to be paired.. now the only other issue I have which I did not have before is the wiper blades are not sitting flush as they used to. This is very annoying as everything is as it should be nothing is loose but they just won’t sit against the windshield correctly. Any advice ?
as for the
lowering visually it looks amazing and I think it sits just right with the spacers also stancing it out. 18s to go on will hopefully fill the last of the gap up. A very nice drive now however my undertray scrapes on speed bumps unless I slow it down to 10mph or less.. gotten used to it as just not possible to always slow down that much. Cornering is much improved!
Will post the
lowering pictures before and after below and also the wipers not sitting flush issue.
Final note - I was once a vxr owner and had a few other motors just non seat and got a lot of
help/advice/compliments. Been a bit slow on here so far lol am I doing something wrong ? I know it’s nothing special but I love this tdi it’s superb on fuel but can also get you places quickly if you step on it! There is a lot to come with body kits and so on too
