Yes robin, he took the photo with his rather long Tripod poll which unfortunatly took out the spectators in the stands with many casualtys  :signLOL:


.... :signLOL: That's exactly what I was also going to suggest before some folks were quick to start facepalming me.

Either way, it's a great shot and actually looks like one Rich would have taken, being quite typical of his style.

 :signLOL: Going down the 1/4 with the camera rig on... that would have been lethal!  :smiley:

Hi Rich, I started to trawl through the 74 pages put quite frankly couldn't be arsed although your Ed30 is very nice and the content is good :signLOL:

Am I right in thinking you are running standard springs with WALK and a rear Anti Roll Bar?

I have just put my standard springs back on and obviously its now a tad high!

If your car is on a flat how big is the gap from arch to top of tyre? 50mm? I just want to make sure that the springs which were given to me when I bought the car are definitely the right ones.

I am now running standard springs, walk and the PolyBushes.

I can honestly say its more comfortable but no noticeable difference in handling compared to the Eibach.

Why did you decide to run the standard height? Comfort? I'd say it was a wise choice.

Thanks mate and I am only joking about the not being arsed!

Apologies for the Hijack Rich..  :smiley:

@ h4rdy, if the springs were given to you by Chris, then yes they are the original VW springs that came with the car

Because I don't want to compromise the ride quality, I do too many miles in it to have me kidneys pulverised every journey.  :happy2:
