    • Fuzion...those wheels are stunning.

      I have a complete set of RHD folding Stubbies for sale if anyone is interested.

      See the For Sale thread.

      I kept the original size mirrors because I also wanted to fit the Skoda Superb puddle lights in them...they only fit the full size mirror housings.

      Yes, some B5.5 V6 Passats here had the folding mirrors too...the pillar mount is different for the Golf though...

            Yeah definately feel stiffer to me, especially if you really put the foot down...there's been a few times where I've felt the ABS after braking hard, seem to get that a bit more since installing the stiffening kit.

            Any ideas on how to do this with the OEM switch?

              Yes...I am using the OEM folding mirror switch.

              I have touched on some of the technical aspects in my Folding Stubby Mirror ad:

              • Just installed N75 J Valve. Seems a lot smoother straight away, and feels like it has fixed my issues when backing off boost. Only took it for a quick run tonight but will know for sure tomorrow.

                • finished putting my coilovers in today and now just need to order some wheels spacers for the front to allow it to go lower and maybe a sway bar kit too

                        Is your shaft and nut rubbing?

                          I ordered my jacket last Thursday at 4pm, and got it Friday morning via courier. AWESOME service and yes, the jacket looks and feels mad.

                          Bring on winter.

                            • Thats probably a good thing, to much rubbing could cause catastrophic failure prematurely

                                yeh worked raising the nut but even on the lowest setting the driveshaft didnt even seem to look like it was hitting on anything
