    Don't know about Racelands, but the best spot for CXRacings is their Ebay store.

    And on the wheel size matter, I'd say the only way you'll get half decent stance/tuck at 100mm is with 17's.
    Front lip on my GL is at about 90mm and i fail the shoe test with 16's and 45 tyres.

    Ebay is best place to get coilovers I've found, nearly always works out cheaper.

    Theres no way you'll be able to get that stanced look at 100mm on 15's. I love 15's, probably my favourite size on the mk3, but you do need to be really low to pull them off IMO. If you want to keep it a legal height I'd probably go 16's with some chunky tyres and give it more of a sporty race car sort of look, you're not going to be able to pull off small stretched tyres and such at 100mm off the ground.

    Could always lower it some more though ;P Most people on coilovers in these Golfs dont have too many police issues unless theyre stupidly low.

    How bouncy are they Smeeeb? I do like the fact they're cheap. Just hoping I won't want any camber adjustment!

    Yeah I'm with you on the 15s being the best look for Mk3's Ben, but I'm definitely thinking they might be too small, and I'll just have to suck it up and go for some 16s with chunky tyres. Thanks everyone!

    Mk3 help/suggestion please!

    They aren't bouncy at all. They seem to have the same ride my dad KW v2s have.
