Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

        Yes, that's it. As with most things from the US, shipping is a decent factor. So whist shipping starts at $33 for that one item, if you whack on a bunch of other items, the shipping may only increase to $45 - which makes much more sense from the value point of view.

                  • Fab_R,
                    Speaking from my experience I have having fitted coilovers and with ET 45 19 x 8.0 OZ Ultraleggeras to my R they rub. I had the mounting face machined 5 mm to get it to ET 50. Just picked them up this morning.

                      • wooduck,
                        Given your offset change, I assume are you referring to rubbing on the guard?

                        going from +45 to +50 would give you less clearance between the inner edge and the coilover.

                              Got it from the dealer. The VW one has smaller hooks than the one in the link, and it suits the VW small tie down loops (the boot in picture doesn't look like a golf). I like the fact that they both got a "pocket" in the net.
