Hmmmmm well ..... spoke too soon ....... ordered some really HOT chromey spokey 18 inch things and when the tyre people tried to put them on they
wouldn't fit !!!!!! The offset was wrong (thought that they would have KNOWN that before they told me I could get them !!!!!!!).
Change of plan on supplier, looks like I will have to buy some German ones instead, so back to the drawing board ......
I want 19 inch wheels but Rod said NO ...... Boring !!!!!

me ??? boring???? nope... not me... just the bank manager...
when they rang trace to tell her the wheels didn't fit she asked me if they were stupid or something... lol.. i said that the offset may have been
wrong... apparently some makers do a compromise between subaru & VW with the offsets... then they make one wheel instead of two. so talking to
this new supplier we just have to sort out the style we want - he's going to photoshop some mags onto the beetle for us so that we can make a choice
that way.
how much do your springs lower by?? dont wanna go too low as i still wanna drive it.. and i know.. how low is too low?? are they progressive springs or single rate?

I have to sell them to help finance the new ones .... especially if I have to buy these german ones, we all know HOW expensive they are !!!!
Maybe I should try and sell myself, or better still sell Rod ???
Anyone interested in a slightly used, well serviced 33 year old ????

when you saw miriam at valla i had the h&r springs in. they lower 50mm but ya need to get someone with veedubya experience to fit. my boys up here
who did them last year didnt know what they were doing so thuse me having to replace everything now because of it.
dont know what pro or single rate means but they are just the springs not full replacement adjustable coilovers. this is what i have now and its
lowered it another 15mm in the front.
:blah:blah:blah anyway...cya

i think for the cabrio 50 mm might be a little low... we were looking at 30mm springs...
progressive springs mean they can change the stiffness depending upon the compression.. ie they can be soft for small bumps but harder for sharp bumps
so that you dont lose the cumfy ride.... single rate are just that.. either soft or hard or somewhere in between.
have been talking to a company that deals with german cars as a specialty (and he seemed to know what he was on about) so they would be the ones to
fit the springs and hopefully get our wheels through them also.

yeah trace was looking at your pics from VWMA last night. like the look and not too low.... just have to sort out the width issue with insurance and
then maybe think of going 19's.... just depends on the bank manager lol... that bastard is always trying to spoil the spending spree!!! :thumb
we got the first modification done last week... will post piccies soon but wanna wait till we get the mags on and lowered for the complete look...
trying to get it all sorted for when we go to newcastle next month.
