my daily a3

Hit a nice big bit of road kill on the way home, thats why its broken. it dragging along the road seems to have worn a nice amoun out of it lol.

yeah all the way down, which is really annoying me, cuz its needs another 12mm down on the front when the porsche are on. On standard 17s at the mo and just dragging the undertray everywhere lol

ha oh dear, go buy anoter try again lol

Parked next to a standard A3 the otehr day and measure the ride height, at 27inches from floor to centre of arch...........mines 23inches

when you gonna reveal the new additions?

I dunno what your talkin about

I'm fed up with all this secret wheel nonsense. Matty has got some new halfords specials to run over winter. He's just too embarrased to admit the chav bk racing five spokes.

You know you want them for your pissflap really

yo matty how are good the ap coilovers? youve been running them for quite a while, would you recomend them?

im looking at what set to get for my mk4, i think ive had enough of the hottuning types, there just too damn bouncy. plus the ap's seem pretty reasonable price wise (about £370).

Id say they are pretty good for the price bracket they are in m8. ride quality is quite good. wasnt much harder than my standard s-line suspension till i wound them all the way down. still not half as bad a hottunings would be.

cheers man looks like i know what im saving for now.

i had hottunings in both my mk3's and they were fun but i dont want to risk the bounciness during winter. i can imagine the mk4 will be smoother anyways being a heavier car.

Yeah, its was reading about them on mk4s that made me go with them m8, doey off edition had them while hid air was being sorted and it sat proper low m8

good stuff. il only drop it about 70mm and then let them settle before i go any lower.

by the way in your search did you find any good topics about the problems with lowering mk4s? someone mentioned something about need new drop links because the anti roll bar hits in the drive shafts? ive been looking for like half an hour now and havnt found any definite answers.

Yeah anything more than abotu 60-70mm drop you get issues with hitting the ARB, you can sort these in 3 ways. 1 being buy other drop links but if you plan on goin really low itll still hit, 2 buy a whiteline ARB which runs under drivshaft therefore solving the problem or 3 take the ARB off lol


I feel a customary teaser pic is in order

gay! the white line abr's will set me back an extra £300!

i have a feeling im going get a set of droplinks (any advice?) and just see how low i can get away with it.

btw matty, illegal much

max keep me in the loop about the droplinks cos i need some too maybe we could get discount for two sets.

Careful where you get them from, i bought droplinks from venon for the ibiza.
1 short blast down the road after i slammed the car pulled the bushes out the droplinks . Bloody crap so i sent them back and adapted the originals by cutting in half then seam welding them where i wanted

Yeah, ive found some nice centre caps that should fit so thatll smarten them up abit

yea the mk5 gold rims do look good should look sweet with your new mk5 r32 front bumper

why on earth are you showing those wheels in a teaser pic? people are gonna be very let down at the meet. i know there only on for a laugh but people will be expecting something special now

I know, i really didnt wanna over hype it, thats why i didnt say much but thought 1 lil pic wouldnt hurt.

seems to be a strange man in your second photo are they bentley rims i see

Oi dont call me strange lol. what crazy fool would run bentleys over winter, thatd be like running my porshces for winter
