    whats with you people?

    of course im building the car the way i want.

    im just asking people's opinions!!

    and im going the "no rake" option (to coincide with my rota 17's, cheap coilsover, gappy euro lip and ryco oil filter!) which pretty much goes against most modified VR6 "norms"

    It would all be a bit boring if everyone followed the same formula now wouldnt it.
    But yeah as mentioned above even if you dial it out the aggressive lines of the car will still make it look like its nose heavy. You wont win unless you get some reverse rake Dex!

    There is no tyre gap on that car. Good example though. Looks lower in the rear although the car is still driving downhill

    What most VW owners have to come to terms with is that the front arches are often higher than the rear ones so by nature of the fact that identical diameter wheels with equal arch gap being fitted will result in forward rake.

    Still, better than an invisible caravan.
