Damn RPS, what offset and width is that?

Must be rubbing galore??

hey guys, my central locking is stuffed, all doors including the boot. im looking at some actuators on ebay but wondering if any of you guys had this replaced and still have the part number for actuators that fit our ep3?

Cheers

ive only had it changed for the doors not the boot, isnt it any aftermarket actuator will fit for the doors? not too sure about the boot though.



also what do you guys think of 17x8 +35 all round on stock height? no intentions of coils or anything lower than stock springs/sussy cause im scratching my exhaust over some speedhumps....

My aftermarket actuator didnt go in the same place as the oem ones. The guy had to drill holes into the door to put the new motors up.

This is what 17x7 +25 looks like lowered on BuddyClub N+ coilovers with negative camber dialled in. So 17x8 will look pretty much the same from the outside. There is no rubbing and scrubbing (though my rear guard has been rolled). Your RM01A must hang lower than the stock exhaust by quite a bit..

Spookz is that your car? Did u get spacers for your stock wheels?

[spookz]

Yeap, they're 20mm Project Kics bolt on spacers with the correct hub centric rings.

Closest pic I have of a 17x8 set up, +37... but this one is again lowered, no tyre specs unfortunately. Sits pretty nice though...



My wheels before I lowered it, 16x8 +38, 205/55/16... not rolled yet in the pic. No rubbing, even though the tyre is slightly taller.



The 17x8 +35 will sit 3mm further out... You should get away with a 215/45/17... try use your old tyres first, if your using a 215/45, should it rub then maybe drop to a 205/45, or roll your guards.
