:( Im going for 205/40 on an 8" rim ive heard theres hardly any stretch on them at all which is good as 215's are an extra £20 a tyre :lol:

Im currently thinking about doing rods in the car for piece of mind but i dunno if i can be bothered with the hassle of having the car off the road for so long and money is getting tight

ill sell you my k03s bud when it comes off ;) ill give you it at a good price aswell but it will be 3 figures!

Im sure all you need is the turbo bud if you have the forge tip it will fit aswell im sure! You can use yer oil lines off the k03 aswell i think

This looks great, you can't beat a nicely lowered MK3 :) I like the black alloys too, they suit it!

How are you finding the APs? Did you have any lowering previous to them or go straight to APs?

Cheers mate swapped from standard to the ap's on this car. Really like them best quality coilovers ive had! Would reccomend them, ride quality is better than standard bit bouncier obviously but less crashy i find. Obviously the handling differences are massive with them massively reduce the body roll which i found really bad on standard set up! Ive had ta technix and fk coilovers in the past n these far out perform them in all ways imo
