Hi all, Well just put on 17' rims. Fist time in twenty five years I have had low profile tyres. Made the car a little more solid and would have to say I had the real misconception that they would make the car drive as rough as guts. Mind you I would not go any lower with tyres, I like my comfort too much and SA roads are ****.
This brings me to the first question, I was thinking of getting JOM coil overs just to lower the car an inch or two and close up the gap between the tyres and guards. I am now sure I do not want to do this as the ride would be to uncomfortable and stiff for my partner and I. Lowered springs would possibly stuff the current shocks by introducing dirt and contaminants past the seal as they would sit lower...and so far springs look to be $200 and higher while the complete JOM setup would be less than $400 landed. I'm looking for advice and suggestions of which way I should head.
The other question is did any Mk4 Bora/Jetta come out with chrome trim around the windows? I like the look and would be keen to add to my sedan. Or would there be something from Audi that would fit on?
Oh and the chrome strip on the right hand rear door ripped off the other day
Anyone know where I can get a new one. the plastic trim is still there, just the chrome bit missing.
Hope to order a short shifter from the states soon as well, then almost everything I wanted will be done, anyone used one and happy with it?
