What did you do to your Polo today?

[seangti]

Working on it Sean

I'm also following the front mount threads with interest. If I do that, I'll do other supporting mods.

But mainly wanting to find people that want to track their cars regularly, gives more motivation and otherwise I stand around twiddling my thumbs all arvo at the track days.

Happy to hit the track soon with you mate, and I regularly find a nice mountain road on the weekends to stretch the devils legs if you're keen?

Yeah for sure, keep me posted.

Well I finally got around to installing my AP coilovers last night. The problem is it took so long for me and my mate to do the fronts we didn't have time for the rears. As such i'm rolling on some pretty aggressive rake at the moment. I've dialled the fronts down with about 1.5 inches of thread remaining on the shock which is having them sit with about 15mm clearance from the guard (17" rims, 40p tyre).
The drive home on the ring road was scrape after scrape after scrape so this morning I removed those damn guard bolts and levered back the tab in the wheel arch = much better, hardly any rubbing now except a little on full lock. Quite happy so far, should get the rears in on Wednesday

Scrape Scrape, guessing you dont have 205's lol

Cant wait to see a pic

[Bflat]

I am running 205's actually, would hate anything wider (and subsequently taller)

[noone]

215's fit, but 2mm either way makes a difference...

Strange, do you know what the wheel offset is

[Bflat]

Can't remember the offset off the top of my head, but I'm running 10mm spacers to clear the brakes up front

[vwthunder]

Oh I am guessing they are a (WRX) offset if you need to clear the original brakes

The BBS i have a a WRX offset and i am running 20mm to clear brakes. With the Bora sport wheels, I ran 205's no problems with no rubbing
