I'm with ratty and welshpug - far simpler and better to cut down subframe spacers rather than spending more money doing 3 other compromises to try and work around it. That way the car will handle better as it will be closer to the proper suspension geometry. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Couple of update pics to show what went on yesterday when i was up Edinburgh. Was good to catch up with eddie and meet seb for the 1st time. Here is what my tyres are like after 250mile of fitting my coilovers, Both front tyres are about the same. I have cyclones there with good Yokohama S-drives on bud there like now and dont really want to kill them like these are. Think if i can be bothered after work tomorrow i will crack on lifting the subframe but all depends on the weather. Fitted the CDA filter what makes a good difference and tones down the engine noise a little over the ram air. Just waiting on a silicone pipe to come so i can loose the long floppy rubber intake pipe. Also collected my old scorpion exhaust, Thought middle and back box would be a straight fit but the way the exhaust has been modified to fit the v6 engine only the back box would go on so i need to get a modified decat pipe made up to suit the GTi6 straight through middle section. Back box looked ok when we fitted it but it has pushed right up against the bumper now and started melting it Also picked up the speedlines I am getting to like the black speedlines that i have on the car at the minute but the new speedlines are much better i think. Just need painting and tyres fitted then i can get them on the car. Picked up a good set of Yokohama A048s off seb to go on the new speedlines Now a few pics we got before i set off home ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Right i have made a start lifting the subframe. Old spacers were 31mm. And i have now cut them down to 15mm. Just a trail as daver6 is going to make me a new set at work if all is welk and nothing catches as the ones i have cut with the grinder arent the straightest Away now to buy a run around and take the v6 off the road for a little while so i can get things sorted. ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Yeah, the steering snatching is because obv. you've moved the steering rack as well with the subframe, will be getting plenty of bumpsteer.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
