Re: Lowering my mk2?

if you arn't going low and care about ride quality you're much better off getting shocks / springs. you'll have much better ride quality and handling than with a cheap set of coilovers.

Custom boot / arches carpeting

I'm on with giving my car a good freshen up over the winter. The boot is looking a bit worse for wear to be honest. The arches have the odd scuff and scratch from be being a klutz when loading by gear in and out. anyway, i'm thinking of carpeting the whole of the boot, that includes the tailgate, bo...

Re: Hmmmm wheel options.....

out of that selection i'd go for either the slotmags or the work equips, but have a look at hayashi streets, i'm loving those at the moment. +1 for watanabes too. i'm running some 6.5j ones with gold centres and love them.
