hehe looks better when clean, and will look better still when I get my bloody coded valances back!!!hey mark thays actually the first time i have seen a full picture of your car, i have only ever seen pictures of the wheels, admittedly i did see you in the flesh but thats was very quick and didnt know it was you!
anyway.....heres mine Audi RS007 MTM Bimoto's....but i want to change them, i am bored of them!
Cheers Mark, yeh i would like to get it down really low, but to be honest they KW's are on about their lowest setting now at the front!Love the MTM's bud, wouldnt change them, but WOULD reccomend changing all your rubber to 225/35/18, and slamming even further!!!IMO your cars looking nice fella.
Lowest setting at the front... WOW!!! Ive still got half the strut on my koni's... its the back that I have no play left in. Euro is good, make sure theyre wide then, with real stretched rubber!!!Cheers Mark, yeh i would like to get it down really low, but to be honest they KW's are on about their lowest setting now at the front!Love the MTM's bud, wouldnt change them, but WOULD reccomend changing all your rubber to 225/35/18, and slamming even further!!!IMO your cars looking nice fella.
I do like the wheels, but would like some dished ones, for the more euro look!
yeah its a bit *** as i thought kw's were meant to go super low! i have some play on the rear but the left side of the car at the front only has like 2 turns left and thats it! Mind you i cant go much lower as it scrapes now and again at the front anyway!Lowest setting at the front... WOW!!!

Mate has put a yanky strip on the bora no probs at all, just had the sidelights plastic welded out.... like you say, i'll look into it.
Cant believe you get rubbing, but then I suppose that's the difference the 225/35's make, I get absolutely no rubbing at all.yeah its a bit *** as i thought kw's were meant to go super low! i have some play on the rear but the left side of the car at the front only has like 2 turns left and thats it!

the wheels i am looking at would be 9x18 and i would use the tyres i have now 225/40, prob is they dont do 8.5 in the wheel so i would probly have to go 8x18 at the front as i am not sure if 9's would go on the front?
if you get a price on the yankee rub strip let me know as i might be interested!
Well it could be the front lip catching the floor now and again, i am not sure to be honest!Cant believe you get rubbing, but then I suppose that's the difference the 225/35's make, I get absolutely no rubbing at all.
9x18's will be fine at the rear, but with the 8's at he front, I reckon your gonna have to space them and go for a narrower tyre than that you already have to get the right effect.
Will keep you posted on the strip
deffo cant get 9's on the front bud unless you want to lose full lock. ~You might well get fouling on strut aswell as inner arch liners. Quite possibly your thebottom front edge of your arch liner that is catching, its one of the lowest points on the car.Well it could be the front lip catching the floor now and again, i am not sure to be honest!Cant believe you get rubbing, but then I suppose that's the difference the 225/35's make, I get absolutely no rubbing at all.

I wander if i could squeeze 9's on the front with a 225 rubber as it will be quite stretched!
