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,

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

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...
