Dunc,

Vload_config_from_db_filesart

que?

lol,

erm, that will teach me to read what I type. Seems I pasted a variable name from the software I was working on into your message ! [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]

It meant to saythey definitely were not VW/VAG parts, but came with the shockers and springs (I think).

[JohnW]

Nope, not nuts but a bit that fits above the spring top mount and spaces it away from the body a little.

This is how the car looks

You got spacers on the back?

[DuncS3]

10mm all round, must admit it needs bigger spacers now, or the tie bars perhaps to push the wheel out

Dunc u got any pics showing how the car looks right now ??

[JohnW]

Is that pic before or after the spacers ?

It looks pretty good to me. Look at the level of the bottom of the door and it doesn't look like the rear is sitting down at all...

[DuncS3]

The pic above is as the car is since getting the work done on Monday (no spring spacers yet). It looks completely fine, although the car park is not level so the other side looks lower at the rear

doesnt look too low to me. and i dont like the real low look.

thinking about 15mm spacers on the rear then?

[DuncS3]

yes.

Since Sita and I adjusted the fronts from max firmness (what AMD left it on) to a bit softer I am well chuffed with my purchase. Dial up max for the track and a bit less for the road.

Ride height is growing on me.

Only problem with this setup are the hidden costs, ie tie bars are gonna set me back about 450 quid all inclusive

£450 why so much, they are £250 from forge and i think QST do them for £200. Seems v expensive to get them fitted.

man thats expensive just to get 2 bars fitted, i'll definatley remember to get them fitted at the same time i get my suspension done.

[DuncS3]

I would, most people seem to need them, sort of a hidden cost.
