Currently sitting on 175/55/R13 Continentals all round, rears are stretched and i have been thinking of getting some camber done but only if i can easily switch it back to normal between shows

Cheers bud :)

Well now i'm earning a bit more, i can afford a set lol.

I'm just wondering what set of coilovers would you recommend? Also are coilovers firmer than Jom racing shock absorbers?

Best colour mk3 polo for me by far.

looks cool

Cheers guys :) Reason why i used the darkest tints is because i live in west london and without them you could see my L7 Kicker in plain view lol

Where did you get that beefy exhaust clamp from?

It came with the Jetex Exhaust System.

I saw this at modnats, i was really suprised to see one there looked mine mate, hopefully mine will be there next year.

i didn't think wellers could fit that well on coupes! i've always been told they would poke stupidly

Mhm +1

Yeah the front ones on mine stick out a bit, so i need to buy some higher offset ones. Also i need to get my rear arches rolled asap because the arches are cutting into the tyres whenever i hit a bump or pothole in the road (fecking shitty cheap Jom shocks lol).

Thanks for the compliment :-D

Edit:

Is it normal for wheel bearings to wear out every 3 months or 2000 - 3000 miles?

lol yes i am sure and i can't wait to get a set :)

looking good liam! i need your front wellers! we shll fit your 5 speed box soonnnn

you cant get any higher offset than et15 on 7j wellers, you can get lower which is et3 so stick out more or 5.5j ones which they make now and get them banded a bit, if i ever pluck up the courage to get wellers i'd get 7j et15 for the front and 7j et3 for the back with 165/55 all round or maybe 175/50

why would you put 7's on the back when you can fit 8's?!

look at how the 8's fit though

i think they fit nice, I've seen it in the flesh. if the car was a little lower though i think it would pull them off better but he already has problems with them scrubbing haha

Ever consider pulling off that towbar and selling it?

Failing that, have you any info on where i could get one?

..ta :)

in fact according to www.willtheyfit.com the 7j et3 will only poke 7mm less than the 8j et15 wheels

7j et15 with 165/55 and 8j et15 with 175/50 it is then
