It's hard to tell at the moment because some of my other suspension components need a replacement, but when I first installed them I remember it was a harsher ride than stock. I think they'll feel awesome once I do a suspension refresh. They also lowered the front a fair bit too which was good

List got so big I had to make it in to two posts! woooo keep them coming guys!

Iv noticed the "what wheels for my mkiv" threads have near stopped, so must be working.

Does any one have the wheel and tyre size for the 14" and space saver? off the placard would be ideal so no mistakes

What's in the box? by Matthew Dart, on Flickr

Fenders Rolled: No - not needed with this setup at this height

Fenders Pulled: No - not needed with this setup at this height

Camber: No additional camber

Suspension: FK Sport Plus Coilovers with helpers in place, Replaced factory strut tops in the front at time of install. Whiteline adjustable rear sway bar set on medium. Lowered moderately. Stu and Mitch keep telling me to 'Lower it' .

Notes: This setup isn't too extreme in terms of width, diameter and offset. The combination of the coils, rear swaybar and only very slight stretch on the tyres made the car a reliable, well-handling and comfy daily driver - covering around 600km weekly when I lived in QLD.
