The adaptors are sexier than the wheels!!! lol... The back wasnt rubbing when I took it up the street earlier but its settled about a cm so it is now.. lol..
Might just put the bk up a few mm to sort it out.. The suspension has absolutely no movement.. lol
Not ideal when my work is a 60 mile round trip... grrrrr

You not a fan of them I take it.. Had them on a few cars now and actually quite like them... They give quite a good stretch on the back aswell..
Well chuffed how the boots turned out, just finished rebuilding the lock etc... and put the wiring loom back in it..

Awesome mate! And that MK2 is stunning, but I think the Mk3 needs to go lower
This is my mates VR6 when he brought it with a "poor" 30mm drop...
He then got some FK coilovers and brought some cheap 17's for the winter (as his others are highly polished TT jobbies (see front of car)
Unfortunetely these are Camera phone pics and the car is very dirty.... But you get the idea.... Its low
