Sweet update with the spacers. Shame about the rubbing though!

What is the current offset/width and tyre dimensions? :)

Cheers mate,
Wheerls are 7.5j et26 tyres are 195/45/16
But they are pretty low so they will be getting changed for 195/40/16 when I have the money :)
I still think I might have to go 30mm up front and 35 on the back, only problem is I still plan on going lower!

Small update,
Hope fully the car will be going lower soon (I know I keep saying it!)
I'm going to get cupra rear bushes and new top mounts fitted as well as sorting out the coolant leak.
Chopping the inner arches to let me go lower.
And get some new pics up from last night :)

But for now here's a pic of a recent trip to Germany with Transition bikes :p

No I don't ride for them, would be nice though!
It was a dealer demo :)
I have a MTB for sale if you need a new bike :)

Right Update, I've not fitted a Forge 007p and the Forge TIP.
Had a nightmare fitting the tip, decided to do it after work so it was dark anyway which didn't help.
Than it started raining and then I couldnt find any clips to fit it with!
So after a trip to a mates house I finally got some Jubilee clips and got it sorted! :D
The car feels a bit smoother now which is good!
Plane for the car now is Stage 2 by sometime after christmas hopefully! :)

Got sick of the ride height last night so we attacked the car.
The helpers came out bumpstops were cut arches were trimmed and the rear adjuster was taken out completely.
It sits lovely now and is still driveable.
The splitters a bit worse for wear but will be sorted soon :)
I will get some pics up tonight

I swapped the Merc wheels last night for some Borbet A's they look good but the offsets a tad low.
I'm having to run 5mm spacers on the front making the et 15 :headhurt:
So the 195/45/16 that are on there need to go for some 195/40/16.
We trimmed the inner arch some more and had a go at rolling them which came out ok :)
I will get some pics up tonight
