What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[dylan8]

So how have you set up your rear coilovers? would love some details before the show, I need more lows

mine are rear perches and adjusters in still.
i run a fair bit of rake though as it suits the sizes/shapaes of the mk4 arches

hmmm that's the same as my current setup I'm also minus the lower locking collars, I think it's time I start looking for new rims with a better et, I have got something in mind and once the adapters go on they should fill the arches a lot better

depends on what spec wheel your running. 3 of the 4 sets of wheels i have atm have staggered rolling diameters, which means the rear tyre is actually taller then the front. when i run the flat5s with the same size all round you can see the front tucks more then the rear

wow ok this changes what to think about, currently I'm running 18 x 8 with 225/40r18 with a 15mm helper on the rear, coils set so the top of the rim at center to to top of the guard is 77mm all around give or take 1mm, so if I was to do a similar setup I would throw a 45 on the rear?? I thought it is best to keep the same rolling diameter

as promised, here's a side on photo of the mk4 with enkei rs05. to my knowledge, no one else is running these wheels on a mk4 anywhere that i could find in oz or overseas.



i lowered the front a touch when i put the spacers in, so i'm 24.75" fender to ground. all round

Cheers fellas. I'm quite chuffed with the outcome myself.

i only do it because the wheels are staggered (8.5/10, 8.5/9, iv had a blank on what the other set of wheels is)
best to keep it the same. no point in mucking around if you have 8s or something all round.
by helper did you mean spacer? and by 45 mean change your tyre profile...?

enkei rs05 look great! feels good to be different hey?

Looks good Josh, am certainly jealous. How do they ride? Should get some big brakes (Porsche ) to fill them right up!
