What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[leighaus]

Have you tried a bolt through them yet? Some of the ones I opened up had to be done to like 15.1mm to suit the M14 bolts
Do have another set back in bairnsdale that needs doing so might have a crack by hand, cant see why it wouldnt work as there is already a hole there to centre it, not like making a new hole on a flat surface.

exactly right dyl. Bolt has been run through every hole on every rim. Not too snug, not too loose. I actually used a 9/16 bit, which is 14.2875 mm.. So it worked out perfect.

got some centre caps from a touareg (sp?) and made them fit into the drift teks, took a little ingenuity and a trip to mitre 10 but i think they turned out ok

a mate of mine took a couple of pics in All Stars Eurofest yesterday ..

Dropped mine off at Lombardi Bros today to get the new bumpers painted up and fitted after I got shunted a couple of weeks ago Should be back in a week or two!

Auto Corolla hire car; sounds nothing like a Golf, rides higher than a 4WD.

JOM adjustable drop links put on today - hopefully will stop the driveshafts and the front antisway bar from meeting....

how low are you? i just took mine out and put the stock ones back in, the jom ones made the sway bar rub where the bolts for the links go through

not very, dont know for sure.
with the top of the wheel at eye level about 15mm between he top of the wheel and the top of the arch

the top bolt goes left right so i would have thought that it would rub the upper part of the mount before hitting any bolt...

it doesn't hit the bolt itself just the 'bulge' inthe swaybar where the bolt mounts to. ill warn you too that when i took the links out the brushing on the bottom had split and that was only after 5k kms or so

thanks i'll watch for that.
so far the whole setup is rubbing far less.
might have to play with settings a bit

I've just had that with my ecs links. When you extend the drop links it pushed my sway up but rotated back which is rubbing on the mount point a lot earlier, just noticed.

I wonder if I lower the links a bit I can find a sweet spot with no rub...

Because of exactly this, the advice i read was to make the links short, not long

about 3/4 of the way down:
