  1. Okay will see what happens then! I am paying £540 for them, was the best price I could find online. What do you guy's think to the FK's? Heard VMAXX were budget kits. I have £5-600 to spend so FK's are looking the most likely (unfortunately my budget doesnt stretch to Koni's or KW's!)
  2. So I am just about to order an FK Silverline coilover kit. On the Euro Perfomance site its states that wheel spacers may be needed. I am using the stock 15" BBS Rims, does anybody know if I would need wheel spacers?
  3. No I haven't had a look with the wheels off yet, but it is visually noticeable (after my mate mentioned it the other day!!). Unfortunately I have to put the tyres on becuase the ones on now are not legal, and I don't have the money to get it fixed until next month.
  4. Ah well, like I said don't mind spending a bit of money on her. Getting some new tyres (Toyo T1Rs) on thursday to replace the crappy playschool tyres he put on her! Will get tracking looked at then. She will be great again
  5. Yeah the wear is smooth on the inside edge maybe about a quarter. It sounds like thats what he has done then. Getting the rear bearings replaced soon so will get the mechanic to check it out. Chances are I will get a coilover kit anyway, willing to spend a bit of money to get her looking good again. Her previous owner was a bit of a knob!!
  6. Ok cool. Well I am definitely not imagining the difference in ride height between the left and right front (the front left is higher and wearing on the inside also). What do you think could be causing this?
  7. So I bought my Mk3 VR6 a couple of weeks ago, and think I have spotted a potential problem. The car seems to be a little lower on the front right. I have also noticed an unusual wear pattern on the inside of the front left tyre. After going through the paperwork it seems there was an advisory on the last MOT about the Macpherson strut. What I think the previous owner has done is replaced the strut with one from a Mk3 GTI. From what I can gather each strut is specific to the loads placed on it. Now correct me if I am wrong but the loads are going to be different from a GTI to a VR6, and this
