its been a while since last time i posted so nothing has changed with the R36 apart from a small mod i did with the brakes. I ended up getting the R brake caliper covers but instead of slapping them on and being mismatched in colour and .:R font i got them painted in Jazz Blue to match the brakes and got the old .:R font put on so it matches the car (i know i might be OCD) but it now completes the calipers and gives the brakes a subtle detail

Here are some pics:

Hi mate,

The car looks amazing. Love the stance and the wheels. Just out of curiosity – what size are your wheels 19x8? I have a grey R36 wagon too and was going to get a set of 19x8.5 wheels. If I was to lower it a little I would be a tad worried about rubbing. Do you get any rubbing on yours?

OEM Lambo wheels are 19x8.5 and i dont get any rubbing even with lowering it with KW springs. just make sure the offset is correct and you shouldnt have any issues

Thanks for that. The offset of the wheel i am looking at is et45 - i am assuming this should be fine as there is only a small amount of poke? Also, with the KW springs is the ride any harsher than it was stock? Just out of interest how much does a set of KW springs installed set you back?

The ride isnt harsher because of the KW springs but it does get a little harsher when upgrading to 19's because of the smaller sidewall. KW spings cost me $300 shipped from Germany + install. I went with KW's as they offer the least amount drop giving it factory drop. H&R and other brands offer 30mm drop as a minimum

Great - thanks. I have to say it's good value for money when you consider how much it changes the look of the car.

Looks great Costa - massive fan of the R36 wagon.

Where did you get the caliper covers from?

They are OEM Golf R Caliper covers as stated i got them painted with the correct .:R symbol
