RedRobin:
^ Your code shows that this is your front measurement ^
^ And this is your rear measurement ^
But are these measurements "after" loading for your trip or after new suspension?
Mine are 70mm at rear and 80mm at front with the VWR-KW-V3 setup.

Does anyone have a guide (for dummies) with pics on how to fit these? I had a peak at where the bolts are and they dont seem easily accessible...
Coming back to the occasional wheel scrubbing problem... had a bit of a wild thought, but worth asking just in case... :driver: Could I potentially adjust the ride height by adjusting the stock shocks, or is there anything else I could do to make the ride a few mm higher?
:laugh:

In regards to your new lights, they are easy to do just a bit fiddly, you need a small 10 mil spanner. :happy2:
And also guys in regard's to the side skirts, i believe VW have put the prices to the correct price now, as the whole of the UK where getting them way under priced for ages. Somebody dropped a bollock somewhere.

Got my R32 lights fitted. Took me an hour, guess that's not too bad for some one who has never touched a spanner!!! :rolleye:
Q1) Just trying to figure out how to get my photos posted. Got them uploaded on MSN Photos...but can't seem to get them to appear in a post. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Q2) I'm considering on installing either the Pro-Kit or Koni FSD shocks to eliminate/reduce the occasional scrubbing of my wheels (that is after removing my current Sportline springs :sad:). I guess the Pro-Kit is not as low as the Sportlines and this may help, not too sure about the Koni FSDs... Can anyone suggest which option would be a safer/better bet in resolving the scrubbing wheel issue?
P.S. I really do want to keep my Sportlines...so my preference would be to go for the Koni FSDs is they help.
Q3) In layman terms, can some one explain what's so great about the Koni FSDs? Checked Koni's website and it's full of technical jargon that's beyond my non-modding brain.
P.S/ Sorry to have to ask so many questions...

....There is invariably a conflict/compromise between have harder dampers for better handling and softer for more comfort.
The KoniFSD's have clever hydraulics, not electronics, which smartly and dynamically react to the road surface and instantly adjust their own hardness/softness. So you get the best of both worlds.....But not without limitations.
Having done about 50k miles on FSD's before they failed, I would recommend them as a good mod for road use and one which won't upset a typical wife as passenger.
However, having graduated to a more hardcore suspension, I now don't care two sh!ts about my passenger's comfort because the full-blooded hard suspension delivers awesome handling and pleasure for me, the driver.
It's horses for courses and depends what you want to achieve and how much money you're prepared to spend.
HTH :happy2:
