They are in PhilJ's section on here. Not that pricey to be honest and look like a good bit of kit.

I just want to know what they are like to fit and how they adjust the camber before buying some. I'd prefer some non adjustable ones if they existed.

i will be posting up some pictures when i come to fitting them, it wont be until after xmas though once the engine is all done and dusted and back on the road!

Sweet dude i'll keep my eyes peeled. Love the gold wheels too mate. They have come out a treat. Did CAS work their magic on them? I really rate those guys at those prices.

yeh they have done a spot on job! tbh i even think they repaired some of the kerbing because they were pretty fooked tbh and now they look perfect!

wow the wheels came out great! how much did they set you back alltogether then?

you can pay more if you want metalic colours or a bigger range of colours but i was happy with the standard gold

Cas coatings in bradford, google them :)

nice one bro :) guessing you had to sand them down or did they do it all?

I fished out those bias valves I have. Turns out they've seized up. I'm not happy selling in that condition so until I can get them sorted i'llnhave to withdraw my offer of sale. Sorry boss

hmm, thats interesting but i still dont have a clue which i need :)

The proportioning valves, there are 3 there at the bottom. These help to set the bias from front to rear. You want less braking force at the rear to avoid locking up under harsh braking, thus resulting in you switching ends! Brake bias is usually 70/30 front/back iirc

ahh ok i understand now,

where would something like that be put though? engine bay? inside the cabin somehow?

Your free to put it where you like, so long as you can get the brake pipes to it. But usually they are put in the cabin somewhere. I cant see why they couldn't be fitted outside though. I'd probably want to protect it from the worst of the elements though somehow

ime not sure how it could be easily fitted into the cabin without it being a massive arse to do and would end up looking messy!

i think i may just keep an eye out for the g40/gt one

Aye, thats what I thought. Would mean bringing the brake lines into the cab. I'll look at those ones I have again next weekend and see if i can free one up. If i can, and I'm happy to sell, then I'll let you know

ok fella thanks for the help!

is it really that dangerous to run without run though?

I'm not too sure tbh having not run my set up yet. What front brakes are you using? i certainly wouldn't risk it running standard sized brakes (and that includes VWII). 256mm up front with sticky pads and cheapy pads up back might help to offset the difference. But with all the weight up front, it'll be easy to lock the rears up imo

pair of slicks ordered today :ninja:

well the minilites didnt fit :(

stupidly i only tryed them on the rear and assumed that seens as they came off a polo it wouldnt be a problem...

it appears they dont clear g40 calipers :(

so reluctantly they are up for sale once again: Here!

and they looked so bloody good!
