  1. Im gonna be going the stretched Tyres on my lmgt4's for shows. The car won't be doing massive speeds on these wheels just to and from shows What tyre sizes should I be going for. Wheels have fitted now 245/35/19 and 275/35/19. 8.5" on front 9.5" on rear Cheers guys I may add I'm not looking for massive stetch just enough to make it look a bit more aggressive without hitting the arches
  2. forum banter, you'll get it once you get to know everyone... theres certain things that u can guess certain people will say and theres a little bit of competition for fun with it.

    Coilovers

    Sorry I don't own one and assumed sp1 would be the lower setting. I did mean the economy setting though. But yeah less aggressive driving style is needed, it's not a 4wd point and go car

    Coilovers

    Your having no luck with this car. Firstly you've got to remember all the power on the rear. Secondly the roads are greasy due to salt/grit and dampness. Could be down to the Tyres but all you need is a lighter foot driving rwd in winter is eventful no matter the car. Everyone on here has these sort of issues but alter there driving style to suit. Buy a throttle controller and set to sp1 it was slow the throttle response in turn making the car less aggressive to drive

    Neil you CAN get it comfortable with fine tuning to the Compression and Rebound. Camber and toe kits are also only required if your drop is excessive. If you went for a moderate drop (say 20mm) then there is sufficient adjustment on the the rear camber and toe to compensate for this and the front camber will still be within factory recommended tollerences, so expensive aftermarket camber and toe kits are not always required. Regarding the set up for your car, I can assure you that a compromise can be reached to give you the ride comfort that you are looking for when on track and road. However adjustment is very easy on the KW3 and only takes minutes to adjust the compression and rebound. Alex. I'm gonna hold you to that lol I can see you getting landed with my car for a few hours to set it up lol

    The eibach kit is pretty low I must add. I did struggle daily with regards to getting over speed bumps etc so maybe adjustable coilovers are the way to go. Theres more bills along side any of these options as camber arms and toebolts are require to set up geometry correctly. I'm currently saving up for these as they are expensive. I ran eibachs on my car and got 19k out rears and 24k out front tyres. Alot more wearing on inner edge though. You posted while I was writing this. Edit: for someone who isn't going to track, all the adjustment is a pain in the arse. I don't mind it due to the fact I wanna track the car often. You are the man in the know. But If I wasn't gonna track I'd be very disappointed with all the money required and adjustments needed to get it comfortable. I found standard shocks with eibachs were a decent balance for day to day. After my car is set up correctly for the track I think it will be awful for road driving.

    You'll only benefit on the track. Best. Just go for lowering springs such as eibach. Coilovers are alot of cash for a good set and very hard ride when hitting potholes etc. When on the roads mines bang alot when hitting bumps, purely because they are not designed for road driving.
  14. One thing though, if you want the wrap, you have to get the ap bbk shown with the slotted discs to match Just won't look right otherwise Lol brembos will do me fine just now lol I'm not a millionaire. I'm only a young 23 dso the bills are alot just now without more ideas lol I will need to get the brembos painted though
  15. It's the hassle of maintaining a full wrap. If it get scratched or torn it looks terrible and it easier for me to get the car painted than rewrapped. With the amount of stonechips on track the vinyl would be a mess. I've seen my mates White golf and the amount of hassle he has had trying to keep it in good condition without even being on the track is unbelievable
  16. Thanks alot mate that looks awesome. I like both but don't fancy wrapping the full car in White as it's alot of work to look after aswell Richard I may be pm'in you for a little help when trying to finalise the designs as I've heard that ur the boss at graphic design. I just wanna say thanks to everyone who has posted up ideas. Keep them coming guys!
  17. Cheers mate that looks pretty cool. Alot of red on the rims though was looking at a tiny pinline. Can you do it without the red? Cheers Neil
  18. bumpy bump... can anyone photoshop my wheels please?
