38psi on the nose with my old school gauge :-) Should the backs be about 34ish? Or the same as the fronts?

Same I think.

It's been a while and it's written in your fuel flap not mine.  :P

I keep 'em the same. Higher in the rear with more load.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Wheels have cleaned up very easily, which was to be expected, as they have only done 300 miles. Car feels a bit weird at the moment, the back end feels a bit floaty which I presume is due to the new tyres not having worn in yet.

Thanks bruce.

Just stripped my rear ARB bushes for the 2nd time  :fighting: , was getting an annoying squeak again. All cleaned and greased back up without totally removing the bar or either rear wheels.  :star:
