Re: Joe's 3rd Gti Progress Thread- Wheel Refurb Begins!

nice job on the wheels - they do look good when polished up - not sure about Orange centres but with RX2's it's nice to be able to try these things 8)

Re: Spacers??

Are there any handling benefits with using spacers? Wider track can't help - but in fitting spacers please be aware that you are moving the leverage point on the wheel bearings The reason manufacturers decide on a certain ET is to centre the load of the wheel on the wheel bearing centres - going ou...

Re: lowering springs question???

Spent a long time deciding on which way to go when lowering my 6N2, went with -40mm Weitec on standard shocks.

Re: lowering springs question???

I always struggle with statements like that - not wanting to cause offence here just stating a viewpoint I ran 60/50 lowering on a MKIV for a couple of years on std shocks with no issues or failures - sure it wasn't perfect in terms of ride (to get that you need to get a matched set of dampers and ...
