Yea let me know JC.

Yea I don't want to throw the feel or handling out the window although I find these cars very light and sensitive!! steering is too light. My last car was E46 M3 and that was perfect!!! lol

Right spacers on and done. Need to lift the front end a bit unfortunately as rubbing on arch over bumpy ground. Full lock is all good and no rubbing there. Don't fancy crawling all over the place so will defo have to lift the front, maybe only 5mm should be good.

Got 10mm spacers on the front and 15mm on the rear so they stick out a little more. Not staggered at all and lowered on Weitech coillies. I must admit, cornering in the car feels alot better now for some reason. ;)

Ahh thats cool!! The lip on the dish on the rear looks deeper!! Found a set of coilovers my mate put on his golf. They are cheap ones tho.... So I dunno. But they do come with 3 years warranty lol...

Not feeling the love with these spacers. They are not the issue, it's my mind methinks so I have decided to get new wheels instead with the correct ET. So obviously the wheels and spacers will come off and go up for sale somewhere. That said, I think the replacement wheels are also gonna look very nice. TD IMOLA in matt carbon!

Nothing wrong with the rears but I am getting a very light wobble through the steering wheel from the fronts.
