Ohhh raaaayyyy !! Looks awesome man. I only wish you had the porsche wheels when i was up in sydney ! Wow you've done a great job

[schwartza3]

wow, car's looking great Ray! How's the ride comfort/handling?

[rayray086]

I love it. Other passengers have noted it to be stiff, but I find it perfect. A bit soft at my driving height, but can't do anything about that unless I go for extremely short struts.

****, due for an update.

Can dial more camber for the fronts now.


And it drives pretty low with the sump raised.

This is so awesome. Love it! Those control arms are amazing! Wish I could get a set like that for my mk3, pretty sure those are what's keeping me the last like 3mm off the ground, even though I've tried to grind things out to get clearance Does this lay frame? Looks pretty close

[rayray086]

Yeah it does. Can feel the subframe touch the floor, and still has a bit of air left in the bags. That said, the subframe lays pretty low as it is, and I'm on 17s with low profile tyres (rolling radius quite a bit smaller than stock). The real test is if it lays on 18's on 40 profile!

[Ben J]

Nice! Thought it looked like that in photos, I know photos of things like that can be deceptive though. Im cheating with tiny tyres on my 15's on my mk3 to get it to sit as low as it does too I think those 17's look spot on though, good stuff

[Jarred]

just let a few psi out of ya tyres ben,.

looks great ray.

what tyres have you got on futuras? Rears look semi slicks, how did you find the stretch on them?
Are the control arms custom?

215/40s on the 8", 225/45s on the 9", put on whatever I could find. Yeah rears are semis, got them for free from a mate, almost down to the tread blocks Replacing them with another pair of 215/40s later this week. Stretch is good actually, tyre guy popped them on without much trouble. Control arms were made by IDF; it's their own design which have gone through some R&D before they started selling to the public. Each pair is essentially made-to-order.
