Put rear coilies on the loon this weekend, which means I can now run this arch gap...

with no rubbing whatsoever!

What are you running day to day?

no pics but can't get hand in between wheel or arch (on my mk5 gti)

What rear coilys have you used mate?

What rear coilys have you used mate?

The ones PhilJ sells :) Not sure what make they are (i stuck them on the car straight away :p) but they use 60mm springs and are zinc plated (no rust!). They do a very good impression of solid metal bars!

I think they're actually meant for a mk1 golf but they bolted straight on with some washers on the bottom :)

Cool yeah thought mk1 golf ones are supposed to work. Looks really good anyhow. Did you end up getting another set of springs so it sits a bit lower on the front?

Well mine was like this for a while.

And now it's like this.

I would love to go lower but it can't because of this.

I'm still running 8"s at the front so its sits high... will be swapping to 6" ones soon though :)

The gap on the front of my golf :p

Thought you'd like that. If anyone's struggling for a place to live, my inner arches are rentable. Just gotta kcik the current dossers out.
