Pretty good price!

when you asked about what size wheel, on a mk4 id say it depends on how low you want to be, most 17s need to be super low to look anything other then factory, where as 18s and 19s you can get away with being a 'bit taller'.
The white on white does look good though..

Thanks Dylan8, After all the talk about wheel size and ride height I've decided to install coilovers first so I can adjust things for when I get the new rims, and in the mean time I can drop her nicely over the stock rims.

I have just over half the 2K needed for the parts and the installation, been looking everywhere (ESCTuning, Pedders etc), and I think I'm going to go for the Pedders option, its $1950 for a MK4 installed with a wheel alignment and a 2 year warranty, that can be honored at any Pedders store Australia wide.

On another note I'm an Android phone user and have found a very cool app called "Torque" which can be found on the market, It uses data from the OBD2 port in the car to display on the phone via bluetooth.



I'm going to be testing it tonight so I will let you guys know how it goes.

Also while I've been saving for the Coilovers, been doing stuff that's not crippling my back pocket to much, here's some pics of what I've done.





Let me know what you guys think??.

Note: the airbox is not going to be there for very long haha thats why its not painted.

Good work mate.

Keen to learn a little more about the Pedders set-up.

I do beleive Pedders used DMS (Drummond Motorsport) who build quality stuff.

Well been doing much researching for suspension and at the end of the day you get what you pay for so I'm going for the Koni coilovers.

Had heaps of help from everyone here reading old post etc and all the places I have called for quotes were really good, properly going to get Centreline suspension to do it spoke to them today.

Water Boy, not to sure about the Pedders option haven't read much good about them so I'm just not going to risk it.

The App looks great its just the adapter that I got is a cheap one that wont connect, Ill need to get a new one so test it properly
