No, to stop them from rubbing on the suspension. I don't think I'll have a problem with them rubbing the arches as I've only dropped the car by an extra 15mm over standard VR6 height!!!! I bought some suspension, that said 40mm lower, the springs are Eibach and they are metalic grey, but apparently they aren't a 40mm drop, they are only a 30mm drop for a standard golf, and seeing as the VR6 and GTi sit 20mm lower, in effect, I've only dropped the car by 10mm, which is about what happened actually!!!!! What width are standard VR6 wheels, are they 7inch or 6.5 inch? I don't want the wheels and
