thanks for the tips guys! im gonna fiddle with the gruppe m when i have free time.
and about your reverse gear UNA91, ALL cars crunch when you go into reverse whilst moving. technically you're supposed to come to a dead stop before putting it into that gear!
what tyre size are u running at the moment im on similar height to urs on the rear with 17x8 +45 not scrub but I reckon roll ur rear to be safe.Quote:

Nobody seemed to notice it with stock wheel specs. No idea what caused it may have happened before it was imported.Quote:

Whats the point of those lips on the fender anyway...
P.s. I got quoted $39 to freight the set of wheels from Sydney to Brisbane, depot-depot with e-go. Does that sound right? total weight is roughly 88kg, dimensions are 22cm wide, 47cm diameter roughly. I thought i input something wrong so when i changed the dimensions and weight the price only varies by $2 or $3 more. I've used this company to freight wheels from Melbourne to Brisbane without problems before, and it costed me around $85
hey random question... have you ever been pulled over and been troubled by the cops co of your ride height?Quote:
