VW Bora - Winter Gathering - New Wheels!

Re: Bora With Genuine BBS splits

I don't tend to throw the car around corners etc learned that with the Clio on coilovers, and with it going as low as possible I don't want to be throwing it around corners due to the sump being so low and the condition of the roads up this way.

I don't mean ranting it. I mean if you have a swooping bend or something. It's there for a reason. If people notice a difference a couple of mm thicker then it's a no brainer that not having one at all makes a fair difference.

My sump was a couple of inches from the floor and still recommend one.

Re: Bora With Genuine BBS splits

They look so nice refurbed. If you don't want them, you'll have no trouble selling them!

Re: Bora With Genuine BBS splits

a big difference from when i first seen them for sure, the refurb has transformed them something crazy! if only the fitment wasnt so mad.

They look lovely. How much you selling them for?

Re: Bora With Genuine BBS splits

Just cheap JOM coilovers, I have removed the helper springs from the front and won't be putting adjuster cups in the back, hence why the front shocks looks like there's very little spring there

I had them on the Gf's old mk4. Rode suprisingly well, really. I left the adjuster in the rear with the helper springs still in on the front, ran them about 3/4's down and it was low enough for us.

Re: Bora With Genuine BBS splits

Infact thats a lie! I had Fk Ak's on the golf. I had ordered the Joms but they had ran out so sent me some Fk's. Probably the same but i had yellow springs instead of blue
 
  Bora.
Re: Bora With Genuine BBS splits

Yeah fks are yellow spring, I want it as low as it possibly can go, removing arb until I get one that fits, considering a chassis notch and engine raisers for clearance and sitting a flush as possible on 18s, just need someone who fan fit them for free as I can't wait till next weekend for my mate to do them, patience isn't my strong point.

Re: Bora With Genuine BBS splits

Sounds a good plan that. It was her daily whilst pregnant and then family hack from then on so mines couldn't be that low. Was a nice height all the same.

You can't run a bora low without a chassis notch..

Re: Bora With Genuine BBS splits

You can't run a bora low without a chassis notch..tom-sx...

you can but you need a new arb unless you going to max out..

Not on joms you can't. Too soft. To get the front looking low you'll be smashing you o/s drive shaft into the chassis without a notch.

Whos that aimed at? Your not a bora lowering god anyway Ffs. And cutting your arb off does make a difference unless your a r****d.

Ahh fair enough. thought I would point it out. Such a shame he is breaking it looked amazing!

Re: Bora With Genuine BBS splits

The reason the alloys are up for sale:

This is without adaptors, just held on by 1 bolt, personally it sits well as it is so to add 20mm more poke would be excessive and a no from me personally.
 
  Bora.
Re: Bora With Genuine BBS splits

But after adaptors it's going to poke a further 20mm, so more negative camber and running 215/35/18s won't work

Not fully finished, still a touch more sanding, priming and painting then it should be decent enough.

Re: Bora With Genuine BBS splits

Pi$$ed off with the car now, smashed 2 sumps! In the space of 2 weeks!! So it's getting out to standard, engine spacers bought, more wheels bought, and re lowered after winter.

Re: Bora With Genuine BBS splits

It looks good lowered though, shame you haven't sorted some wheels for it.

Did you ever sell the wheels? What's the revised price like? :rasp:
