on a mk3 30mm is poinless n a waste of money....

 

[Charlie.]

Looks better, but i'd still go lower

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

Yeah 30 on eibach

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

Lol as said your nether happy unless it's scrapping the floor! Personally I love the difference and glad I didn't go lower cause it already scraps on speed bumps as is.

 

[VeinAST]

Looks good.

 

[Android]

it scrapes on speedbumps ??

doesnt look much different chap

 

[Gregg]

Big thanks to renault_wizz for fitting!

And his glamourous assistant

The front definately looks lower plus the springs have to settle a bit to get the full drop

Yeah I'm thinking of spacers next but dont know much about them, where can you get them from and how much? Easy to fit?

Yeah sorry photos don't do it justice! More to follow soon!

Not much difference either way seems pointless to spend the money for no noticeable difference at all

FK System B spacers are the only ones to buy, 25mm is perfecton the mk3

Bolt to the hub the the wheel bolts to the spaces none of this longer bolts pish ! they aint cheap though !!!

Good ones arent. Course you could always settle for cheap spacers, just dont turn corners with them on.

i got the from Russ@gas almost a year ago hes not trading ne more far as i know so it would be direct from FK but like i said they aint cheap i wouldent bother

And on another not like said dont skimp on the last thing you want is a weel fallin off

 

[Gregg]

Gregg you helped!? Didn't know or would have text you saying thanks!

I just lent a hand as Ed was doing my PAS pump too, between us we did your springs in a hour which I thought was pretty good going

Liking your dials too

 

[Kerryclio]

Would personally drop it more if it was mine, but looks better anyways :approve:

 

[mikey123]

Scrapes on speedbumps?? Must be driving over some crazy bumps then dude!

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

It's cause of the tce body kit and pretty big bumps tbf

 

[Plummer]

Where from bio?

I bought 30mm ones from FK a couple of weeks ago and they were £100ish, so maybe a tad less or the same.

Are spacers purely for looks? I thought 10mm would be ok for mine?

 

[Brett]

Big improvement. Looks how it should of from the factory. Far too high as standard.

Yes spacers are purly for looks and like everything on the Mk3 unless its a big number its poinless !

Ie 10mm isnt worth bothering about

 

[Greeny.]

Does look lower, your blind/lieing/being anal if you think it doesnt, very subtle drop, but its there

 

[seb]

looks good.

 

[Ben.]

definately an improvement

The system B ones bolt to the hub and then the wheel bolts to them..
30mm per axle (15mm a side) is the smallest you will get in system B spacers IIRC.

Smaller requires system A.
System A use longer bolts through the spacer and the wheel.

Some people think B is safer, which it probably is..
If you get either, make sure their hubcentric as this takes some of the load of the car off the bolts, and onto the hubcentric angle and also makes sure your wheels bolt on straight. If their not hubcentric, don't bother!

I find my spacers made a massive improvement in handling, the car feels totally planted.
I researched a lot online and thought they would make it worse, but boy was I wrong!

Thanks andy! So would 30mm spacers look good? Anyone got any pics? They are £100 on that FK site.

 

[BioHzrd]

I honestly wouldent bother unless your gonna lower it more

Do you mean 30mm per axle or per hub?

I have 30mm per hub but on a Mk2.
