New Wheels and Coilovers

skodastream · 01-03-2008, 17:26

Finally after 3 months of sitting in my garage my wheels and coilovers are on. Thanks to the guys at Midland VW for their hard work as usual. Very happy with the inital feel of the coilovers not rattly at all over my speed bumps and horrible local pot holes

Quality of the set was very good and the ride feels really nice now. Car should settle nicely over the next few weeks.

Here's some pics....sorry the car is dirty stupid farm roads

Looks cracking, liking the wheels, what are they?
Nice subtle ride height!
Like the plates also!

Thanks guys for the comments - wheels are always a pretty personal taste.

Wheels are TSW Deep Dish

Mort · 01-03-2008, 18:17

Looks good; expecting a review of the coilovers one you've put some miles on them

KTP · 01-03-2008, 18:18

looks good with the drop but the wheels are not to my taste at all

skodastream · 01-03-2008, 18:32

like i said KTP wheels are a personal choice didnt expect everyone to like them. I really wanted some deep dish ones and these were some of the nicest ones I could find at the price I have to spend - not prepared to auction a kidney on this car - did that on the last one lol

lewisgraham · 01-03-2008, 18:43

Looking good ! what sort of coilovers/hight are they ?

wheels are down to personal taste !

Babs · 01-03-2008, 18:46

Tidy

But.... LOWER! lol

skodastream · 01-03-2008, 19:58

its low enough thanks 60mm is just fine for round by me lol we have suicidal lemming speed humps!

oilburninnut · 01-03-2008, 20:45

may just be the camara angle,but you look to have a spot of reverse rake going on,get the front lower

Love the wheels,what size tyres are on them?

skodastream · 01-03-2008, 21:13

clidgevrs · 01-03-2008, 22:10

simply awesome mate great job how much were the coilovers and how much to get them fitted and set up ok cheers fella

skodastream · 02-03-2008, 08:04

Thanks clidge. All in for the coilovers fitted was £470 i have been using MVW for nearly 3 years now and they tend to do a good price. I ordered the coilovers direct from the manufacturer which saved me a little cash also.

Gary I think they are 225/40/17 I need to check when I was Greedy today thats if my bucket dont blow away in the bloody wind!
