Sorry lads. That's not the bulb that's orange, it's the actual lens. (Ok I lie, I quite like it, breaks the front end up a little)

Considering getting 18's now. Want to go lower but don't want to end up cracking my sump or anything else underneath.

Also does anyone know why this could be... rear wheels are spaced 15mm, the drivers side has a little poke, the passenger side has tuck :confused:...Ideas???

so 18's are the answer? nooooo

my rolling radius is 4mm more then yours ;)

so getting 18's ain't the answer, hiding your sump in the subframe is ;)

But that 4mm could save my life.
Have you got any clues to why on the rear end, the drivers side wheel has more poke than the other side? It's quite noticeable :(

Some pics after around 500 odd miles since lowering the front:

Rolled arches will be needed soon:

all the mk4 platform poke more on the rear on one side, it was the subframe, was angled (can be straightened out, but geometery was done to align it right)

I dunno why it is angled tbh, they all do it :)

will get a pic of how low my subframe is ;)


PS now you know why I got notch, engine spacers and ARB done at same time, was without my wheels on for so many months, as I know about sumps ;)

Awww, that's just stupid. There's like an inch difference lol. Really need some monies so I can get all mine done. Still have that whiteline ARB to fit! May just sell and use that money to get the works done!

Cheers pal
