Kewl will be spending my bonus on them then, thanks again.

I have no idea who anyone is any more think alot of people like me just don't use this section as much as they used to, I browse but it's normally the same kinds questions. I feel old, got called an SCN veteran recently!:blink:

Facelift bumper on front cupra on rear is all and LCR splitter like most people have done.

Yes the rear wheesl sit too far in teh arches, I have seen several other members on here with the same wheels as me with 20mm rear spacers on and looks so much better. Apparently the handling improves a tiny bit but I'm don't think it will make any difference.

:yes: Bought these only a couple of weeks ago!

Do ya need spacers?

:yes: Widens the rear track by 40mm = better handling when the going gets bendy!

Apparently the handling improves a tiny bit but I'm don't think it will make any difference.

It is noticeable...

is there many people with spacers on without there car sitting any lower than standard?

I am sitting on Eibach springs but the rear is only about 10mm lower than standard!

20mm spacers made alot of difference to my handling.
I know lots of folks with 20mm spacers running low coilies, no issues.
I've seen 25mm spacers tho I hear that gives lots of rubbing.

Dont have a MK4 any more but still poke around in here to laugh at the new ones asking the same old crap over & over.

The spacers in that link look a good price too, when you fit them if you haven't already painted you discs & drums might be a good time to do so (I guess you have though) and add a little copper grease to each side of the spacer and each bolt tip. This will just reduce any electrolysis between the three metals you will be sandwiching together. Dont add to much as it will end up on the discs and on the inside of your alloys lol

Also a good idea to take the alloys off after a few days and check the torque on the spacer bolts as one on each wheel did come a little loose
