pics dint come out so here they all are,

that might just be me but have they cut a fook off hole in floor for ya cage

yep thats my gravel drive you can see through that hole, dunno why they did it cus the cage had plates at the bottom that covered them holes up

lol oww yer

looking good, is the cage staying out? if so are you interested in selling it?

i take it you wont be runnin it on 195/65/15s? 195/45s are ideal on a mk2 on 15s, but with ya big arches id go for 50s.

yer want a polished show cage as puttin corrado front and rear seats in, give us a pm n come have a look at the cage can sort summits out with it if ya want it.
Plannin on runnin 165/50/15 for a slight stretch as the wheels are only 6.5s plannin on runnin a bit of camber on the back aswell with some camber shims anyone ever used any?

Mines on its arse now dude and the rears have plenty on natural neggie camber so I wouldn't worry to much unless your an extremely gifted driver or your gonna race/track day it.

yer my old golf was slammed had 80mm drop springs wasnt low enough so took the angle grinder to the springs and cut 2 coils off all round so reckon it was between 100-120 mm drop and dint seem to have any camber on the back, its jst for looks really as its only a 1300 so wont be worth puttin it on track but all my cars do get driven hard.

Mines on coilovers mate an it has loads!

are you trying to sugest that the REAR has negative camber on it becuase you have lowerd it tom?

You do realise that it is a fixed axle... and the only way to increase camber is to remove the stubs and fit camber plates?

theres a set of brand new 175/50/15s on e38 wheels and tyre section for £110 only at lincoln, thats a bargain.

Yer found some of those camber plates on potn.com but just wondered if anyone used them or know anything about them, you just unbolt the stub axle n they sit beween the stub axle and beam

i wish my mk2 was as good as yours, mines just stuck in my garage cos im too much of a fairy to bring it out!

im also bald as a coot!!!!!

well little update no pics yet, but she was on fire!!!!!! Was weldin up the stupid holes in the floor and all the underseal went up underneath as well as the fuel lines, dont think its done too much damage but i sh*t myself

Bit of an update for you lot got some new spacers for the back, 50mm wide there actually off a quad so had to drill the holes out which mount on the hub but apart from that theyre perfect

Old stance

New stance


Also been givin the audi rims a bit of a refurb not finished yet but thought would post couple of pics only got 1 semi done

I knew its fixed, just mine has the appearance of having quite a bit of neggie camber. I'd guess a Golf has a lil bit of neggie at both ends as well as most other newer cars. My old Triumph had positive camber as standard and handled like a greased pig and it was IRS and lowered a fair bit!

who welded and re-drilled your audi rims? dont see it done a lot now with all the adaptors on the market.

It was some engineering place at sleaford, i dint get em done Nick at coningsby had em done but i got em off him fairly cheap and i dint really fancy stacking spacers up to get the right width on the rear
