I also had this problem and as per James4287 I just fitted new suspension and it was sorted - I had one v scary moment though!

I'm really liking that

I've used them before and can also testify to their professionalism and knowledge, and the guy who runs it you can tell is a real enthusiast too, which always helps

I really like the colour of them - suits the car down to the ground I reckon

I think Pete's right - I was looking into it a while ago and only Mk 3.5 will fit - rarer than hen's teeth to get hold of though

as above, as long as Martin Brundle is still involved on commentating - he's the only one that makes any sense half the time! Great for it to be back on BBC now

Amazak, how much did you pay for the GTI if you don't mind me asking? Only that I might be looking to sell mine soon so need to get an idea of prices - PM me if you don't want to make it public. Cheers

I must admit that's the one thing I missed when I didn't have a VR - the noise. As great as my GTI is the four pot just never comes close to sounding as good - hence why I bought a VR as a 2nd car!

that's quite cool, I've never seen a radio controlled VR6 before

looks very nice mate, reminds me of a red MK2 VR I had once with rallye front end etc - my seats weren't nearly as nice as yours though!

yeah the one about the coat is laugh out loud funny but only works once you've read the serious thread. Detailer or not, that is still a bit crazy I reckon - I mean we all like cars but I would say 90% of people on this site just love driving them first and foremost and with that type of car you'd be scared to!

depends what you're going to use the car for - unless you spend mega bucks on coilovers (Koni's etc) then the ride will probably be on the firm side, if you're going to show the car and want to raise and lower the height a lot, then obviously coilovers are the ones to go for. If like me you would probably never adjust your suspension and want a decent enough ride without being harsh, then go for shocks and springs - I've got a Weitec setup on mine and I'm very happy with it (and also saved myself about £500 over buying a decent set of coillies)

My cups aren't that wide at the rear, but are the same all round (7.5 x 17) with H&R adapters and don't stick out at all - in fact they fill the arches quite nicely. Not sure if this helps you at all. There are some other pics of them on one of my threads if you want to take a look

well I tend to use Lord Sheraton leather cream - name is a bit poncy but does seem to work ok - you can get it in most decent supermarkets I think
