    Do you think SWMBO will notice if I do a wheel swap one afternoon? Maybe I could just swap the left side wheels on each car so we are a matched pair.

      I'm thinking of 19's but not sure if I'll loose ride quality. It looks like there's enough room to allow 19's, not sure though if I go the eibach's?

      Any thoughts from other RS owners, I'm starting to get the feel of factory setup and enjoying it but don't like the gap between wheel/arch...

        Totally agree. What's with the wheel arch gap? Needs to be dropped. I like the 18s. They've grown on me. Just want the car a little lower. 20mm would be perfect.

          As much as I'd like the look of a lower car the current suspension height means I get up and down our drive without scrapping the nose or the exhaust tips and for a more mature person like myself it's that much easier to get in and out of the car.

            I agree. I think the car would look great, but living with always having to worry about scratching the front bar, and getting in and out of super low seats is too much hassle (especially given the size of my carport).

            Been there, done that. Did not like.

            If it wasn't a daily driver, it might be a different story :-/

              I did the sports suspension thing on my Golf IV - it looked better and handled better but, after two cracked sumps, it wasn't better.

              Hence the Outback which replaced it, and now the Scout....
