Didn't realise you were fairly local, I seen the images on ScottishVAG ... you should come along to a meet sometime.

 

[fr-tdi]

Its looking pretty much perfect there i think. And ofcourse remember for handling reasons the back should be 'slightly' higher than the front. (To help turn in i think)

 

[CupraStoo]

Rear higher than the front is called 'point'

 

[Matty.]

looks alot better now the backs raised slightly, what sorta rims you looking at?

 

[Mikey_H]

back looks too low imo, need to find a balance! there's low and there's too low, the wheels looks really far forward at the back now, if you like it then fiar play to you tho dude!

i was thinking the same thing i have my coilovers as low as they will go but my wheel doesn't look asthough its comeforward an inch or two, my personal opinion is if your going to have the back that low you need to have the front just as low, nice looking cr though to be honest i have never seen an fr in that colour and i'm impressed although i was in seat the other day and they had a white fr with gloss black alloys that looked a proper minter

 

[Tall-Paul]

I thought it was called 'Rake'? Either way it is needed to improve handling, after all it is the front wheels that do all of the work so they need most of the weight

schmidt th line or BBS rm

Atleast with better suspension he shouldn't get the twitchy rear end like you get with the standard setup when pushing on abit.

 

[Mr.SeZ]

how hard/ easy r they 2 adjust the ride?

 

[Ultra_Joel88]

cant adjust ride only height

was looking at a set for fabia

apparantly v-maxx, jamex, gmax and ta technix are all out the same factory

KEEP THE THREADS GREASED OR THEYLL SEIZE!

Also sum1 with an octy had the springs on his rear snap.... both!

 

[Guinness]

Im unsure whether to get these or the eibach pro street kit.

 

[bbewekim]

everything needed to slam your car...?? for 230quid... bargain, may have to treat myself... they seem rather cheap though?

 

[CHR15B]

They are cheap mate, and they won't be as good quality as the higher brand names.

I've not had a problem with mines though.

 

[Mikey_H]

my personal opinion is you get what you pay for, if you want to run the risk of them breaking or not performing how they are supposed to then yea sure save yourself a couple of hundred quid, but i personally would say spend the extra and get a well known make, atleast then if something goes wrong you know they are going to replace it so as not to dent their rep

 

[Matty.]

might pick up a set of these in a few weeks just to see how the quality and ride is, then either stick with them or get a better kit

but either way... the car gets lowered

 

[Sisson]

iv had a set of these on my Passat and some more expensive FK ones on my beeza.

quality was the same handling was the same, adjustment was fine.

FK's were over £200 more expensive
