Bruce,
Thanks for all your help :wink:
Plus I also had my arch screws removed and folded back to retain and slightly lift the inner arch. I have zero 'touches' since. They were never a major problem and no tyre whitness marks but over big dips at certain lock I would hear a small 'kiss' whcih was annoying :smiley:
I am very nearly there now :party:

Another thumbs up for Simpsons, top guys, my car lives there :happy2:

Just to update.
So far very impressed, braking has feel, bite and immense stopping power. This is what should be fitted to a performance hot hatch IMO. I never forgot pushing the middle pedal for the first time in a Porsche RS, it reminds me how poor most cars are at stopping and shedding speed.
Forget the emergency stop at 20mph, it's the ability to shed 30-40 miles an hour off your speed when you want to quickly and competently with feel and control. Previously hit the middle pedal when you need too and it was worrying in comparison.
Don't overlook your brakes guys :happy2:

Yip defintooly the best mod you can do on the gti, a set of decent stoppers !
You mentioned rubbing on your arch ? Out of interest roughly how much lower are you ? Does your bbk require a spacer ? And are you running standard pescaras ?
Cheers Bryan
