Tim as 312's on his VR6 under 16inch wheels, but he is using standard calipers
I will need to use some spacers as the Porsche calipers are quite wideMODS- TOO MANY

At least with OEM wheels, you know they are strong, incase i come if the track, not that i have tracked it yet</bias>

Went for my first proper drive after KW's installed, stance corrected, new control arm bushes, new spigot rings, new strut mounts and bearings, higher tyre pressure, sways on soft and a few days of normal driving to let it settle in.
I have my Polo back.
In so many ways the AP's were quite similar, I was a little shocked when I first got back in it. The combination of warped strut tops, a broken strut bearing, the whiteline control arm bushes and the AP's was uncomfortable on local roads at peak hour speeds. On nice twists the AP's are just as fast.
Hopefully I'll stick with this setup, suspension wise anyway...
