Can always rely on you Barrie. When I had the Bilstein's fitted, the ride height went up. Seems a bit over the top to get something like above,wonder if I can just fit some different springs ? Probably should have gone as above in the first place.

[PristineReflections]

id say the thing to do is fit springs although a set of bilsteins and good h and r lowering springs is 450-500 quid I believe. and they have no adjustment!! the possibility is endless with these.

Some before and after shots much better but im going to go the rest on the back which is about 5mm. Then the front down to match it

[PristineReflections]

just the 17s to go on and im in business

All looking good.A big help having a full "ramp", "lift", in your garage. Barrie said, his coilovers are +/- 80mm. Do you know what yours are ? There does look alot of adjustment.

To clarify Clive, mine has been lowered about 80mm, there is room to go lower, but with the low slung diesel sump, I'm not that brave.

Just to get this right in my head Barrie. You have gone -80mm, but, if you say, put 24in wheels on, you could go +80MM ? Also, did you go for Weitec coilovers because you knew you were going to do track days ? The Weitec springs look quite stiff, compared to the KW's. The KW's "look" more suited to road use.

They lower it 20-30 mm with them all the way up i believe then 60 mm adjustment under that

Well its actually a great little buismess near me called rent a ramp where you pay to use a lift per hour

Even at the top of the adjustment it wont be higher than standard always lower [emoji1]

That face is because lows are cool^^

This is why i'm getting confused. The pictures show a big difference between the highest point, and the lowest point. When you look at the ads for the coilovers, they say -25 0r -30 as soon as you put them on(which is what PR is saying).That would leave no room for adjustment if it was a bit too low. The one problem which I have is,i run slightly bigger profile tyres.

[PristineReflections]

No these arnt on at maximum height im not far off the bottom of the adjustment on them.

[NZ100]

Sorry(senior moment,all day) misunderstood the pic's. My wife says I misunderstand her. ps,i get it all now.

[PristineReflections]

Been while since ive had anything to put on here but adjusted my coilies so im happy with them today

Roof bars look good. The wheels confuse me though lol. The arches are nice and 'full' with the 17's and lowered suspension. Starting to look good! What are the future plans?

Nice to see another modified 15 plate Roomster on Briskoda.

[PristineReflections]

Well future plans are more lows. I had planned on spacers for the wheels but they are definatly not needed!!

Thats a shot looking down on the front... they erm stick out a bit!!

[PristineReflections]

Whats confusing about the wheels?

[PristineReflections]

The VW badges. They look excellent in the arches, just the way the car should come off the belt.
