Title: Newbie from Cumbria
Post by: brogdog on October 28, 2012, 04:10:38 pm
Hi all I've finally signed up after using the forum for general info for a few months now. I've owned a my black 3 door Gti for over 2 year now but only just decided to change it so I'm starting off with some 3SDM's and might get something done with the suspension. I'll post some pics of the car when it gets the new rims cos im sure nobody wants to see pics of a standard Gti

Welcome along!  :drinking:

Your wrong there,we all like pics of shiney GTI's so get those pics up already.

Which wheels are you getting? Really like the 0.01's. Forum peep W8Performance (Rob) is currently selling 3SDM's on here...

Ive ordered the 0.05's in 18" with the wider rears from revolution at gateshead so hopefully ill have them on in the next couple of week might get it dropped at the same time but dont know if i should just get springs or stretch the budget for coilovers

Adjustable Coilovers if you can stretch to it as it gives you the height choice you want but springs are ok (try H&R for springs). Although Air Ride looks.......
