Did some arch work and played around a little yesterday, for some reason i can't get it to sit lower than this on my bags? Not sure if its because they're not decompressing properly due to not having management in at the moment, or if theres no room left? Theres room in the arch, to go lower. NEED TO TOUCH RIM.

Learn to read man haaaaaa. Bags are on full drop, i.e no room left. Squeeze them how? LOL, you try and get your arm up in there with a wheel on (needed for full drop)

You can jack on the beam to get full drop. YES YOU CAN.... I've done it. full drop asin you cant get them anymore or asin they wont go anymore thats what i ment. you said yourself I'm not sure if they are fully decompressing or not. never mind you'll work it out.

I know, i was taking the piss, as thats what you usually do in your posts 8-)

The bags aren't decompressing properly due to me jacking the wheel up, so they're not folding like they should because they aren't being decompressed properly, due to them being single below bags, not double below bags.

this is epic, cant wait to see it

I'm a noob, but I'm wondering why the wheels turn "inwards" from the bottom?

Very nice polo anyway... :-)

It is called camber. To be more technical it is a negative camber. This is required when cars are lowered and tyres rub on the arch. In this case, these wheels have a large offset for this model of Polo so lots of arch rolling and camber will be needed to make these wheels fit without rubbing.

Sorry to correct you, but he's not referring to camber. Camber would make the wheels point 'inwards' at the top, not the bottom. He means Toe, toe occurs when you have a fixed rear beam car and you lower it a stupid amount, because of the way the rear beam is designed, the wheels will 'Toe IN' due to the beam moving alot closer to the chassis of the car.

You're correct in saying lots of arch work and a slight amount of camber is needed to make them fit without rubbing. :)

No, he does mean camber, hence why he said 'turn inwards from the bottom, meaning going inwards as it goes up.

not necessarily, TURN inwards from the bottom could mean toe or camber.

Just a few to keep it alive. This is the happiest i've been with a car since the purple 6n rolled out the bodyshop when i took the first set of photos. Genuinely stoked.

Thats camber. (waits for the i told you so)

Mine're positioned like that ATM, because i needed some arch clearance before i get my front bags on and have to start cutting about, i just couldn't be bothered at the time lol. i'll straighten them up slightly (yeah i'm probably lying) at some point haha.

Ah cool. :-) Thanks for that. Also the polo looks really class, The gold and red look class together.

Thanks dude. Not sure if it'll stay red and gold for the long run, the paint is SHIT on XXR wheels, chipping already and the car hasn't even been driven.
