Wondering if anybody fancies a little weekly/monthly meet in around sheffield ?? I know the vw boys have one over at meadowhall retail park on wednesdays ...could even have a drink or somethin to eat , not enough happens in s.yorks / yorks if you ask me
Is there any difference in cup packed annd non cups ??
Or if anybody has a a link that woul help as above I need both track rod ends 2005 cup packed 182
Can anybody answer me this do lowering springs take the original struts out of their optimal damping range or doesthis not effect them because of the minimal drop ??
LiquidYellDan whats the ride quailty like as apex on cup shocks is back breaking I literally wince at any sort of bump in the roads and did you fit new struts front and rear ??
Budget isnt really an issue my 182 is cup packed and atm has apex springs which I find quite a harsh ride I would like adjustable so just springs is out of the question
As above im wanting coilvers and im looking at the full range from ktecs through to b14s I dont do track days but id like a fast road set up the car only gets driven twice a week at most now so i can put up with it being a firm ride ,im going with PMS solid mounts if that makes a difference to...
No problem I measured my new pads and they were around 13mm but ive had replies on another thread sayin 18mm so I guess it varies , really stumped me yesterday but as soon as the shims were out they were perfect so thanks again
MRBILLYUK I removed the spring/anti rattle shims cleaned up the carriers and filed the new pads and low and behold its fine , do you know if leaving these shinsout will have any adverse effects ???
The inner pad sits back about 5mm from the disc the carrier moves freely by hand although its a little 'sticky' with the new pads ill try filing them down tomorrow does removing them shims have any consequences or are they just anti rattle shims ??
