Ok, I was bored yesterday so thought i would fit the fuel pump that i have had sitting around for 1 year, but, I couldn't find it

So i played around with the wheels instead.

Rear 17X9's on the front, just to see how they look



Can you see the camber on this one ?

Helps when you have big brakes behind them

haha, yeah, good point, my rears look ridiculous with the stock mk4 brakes... upgrading them is pretty low on the list at the moment though, not enough cashola to go around..

Again, Lovin those wheels!

Was trying to get come pics of the Camber, cant really tell from the pics

Is not too bad, I drove on the freeway the other night in the rain and i was hanging on to the steering wheel very tightly.

Only really seems to pull when the road is flat.

Cant adjust the compression on the front as it is over too far, hiding under the strut dome

Feels like a go cart with the KW's set just over half way, turn in is sensational. Definately one of the best mods for $400

That's some serious camber mate how do you find straight line freeway driving sitting on 100kph?

[vwthunder]

That's an awful lot of camber for the street

Yeah got a track day coming up, so they suggested i leave it like that, besides it is not really a daily, seeing as i walk to work

I'll be interested to hear how you go getting the power down coming out of a corner. I'm assuming as there is less contact from the inner tyre that its easier to have the inside wheel slip.

Keen to hear your feedback in general when its all sorted.

Hoyhoy.

Troy when going for heaps of negative camber for street use , ya might find the steering different, usually for the worst.

Google = scrub radius, for some reasons.

Oh and eddy, I have 3 degrees with semi standard size springs

Think most of the Polos with serious track mods have had them cut, I know Van (ssman) cut his, pretty sure Eddy's are too

Had her in a Pedders for a allignment, they said it was quite time consuming as you have to set it, check it and do the process over and over
