p.s i have included a photo of the new stance let us know what u think, i think it looks a litlle low at the rear, but it is on a slop :) sorry for the quality of the photo as it was taken on my phone! regards chris

hi i have just finished fitting my coilovers and am not 100% sure if i have set it up right as i basically measured from the bottom of the strut to the first turning ring on the front (120mm on each one) this equalled in a ground to centre of arch ride height of 592mm on the o/s/f and 598mm on the n/s/f. On the rear i did the same 155mm on each strut giving me a 595mm on the o/s/r and 598mm on the n/s/r!!! is there a more better or more accurate way of doing it, also does the suspension need time to bed in if so how many miles time period etc, should i keep measuring it over the next couple of weeks??? cheers chris p.s joinerboy here are the part numbers: 1911512333 ring 1H0412365A Threaded bush 357412331A Strut mounting S1J0412249 Bearing N10209009 Nut N10174002 Bolt 191512339 Washer 191512335 ring N90517302 Hex Screw HD N90323704 Nut Hope this helps cheers chris

cheers for the info piano wire, but where do i get or find that info from as there nothing on there website?? here a photo of them if this helps many thanks chris

well got the wife to pick up all the bits i ordered from TPS today, looking forward to fitting my coilovers at the weekend, dont think she could believe that a couple of bits of rubber would come to over £70 quid!!! :) big thanks to A1 VR6 for all the help and advise cheers bill :notworthy: here are the coilovers that are going on her i also brought these 288mm calipers,which i plan on fitting over the xmas period, just got them back from the shot blasters just need painting now!( big thanks to big pants baby who i brought them off)

thanks mate, yep i try that first website not the good, but that page you found confirms it cheers again toad regards chris

cheers toad, but how did you know that my friend i cant find any info at all many thanks chris

found the part number of the side of the box it is 35865 -1 is this correct for a corrado vr6??? looked on the internet for a match but cant find it!!! help :brickwall: many thanks chris

hi all brought these H&R coilys( xmas prezzie to my corrado lol) for my vr6 are these the right ones? as the thing that is buggin me is it says Golf mk2 mk3 on them, surely there are different ones for a vr compared to say a gti golf 16v corrado etc??? is there a way of finding out? any help i would be most gratful regards chris

joinerboy give us til the end of the week and ill post all the part numbers and bits needed for the job regards chris

i agree with G charged, parts are not going to be at their best..especialy perishable rubber, and it does make sence to just do it all in one go and experience proper handling 1st time round. i have a started to get all the parts together from VW as i was to replace the perishable with OE stuff, i plan on starting this next week so may post step by step guide on here of what i did (unless theres one on here already) yep go point 'vwdeviant' my spoilers the 90mm elder one, so might look and going for the later 50mm for extra clearance!! my only real worry is about the brake compo valve, i dont want my car facing the wrong way the first time i test the new suspension!!!lol

hi what other things must you consider when lowering your corrado ie renewing top mounts both front and back do you need to do any thing to the rear brake compensator valve?? and also what is a sensible drop on coilovers? been lookin on here but cant find a thread/guide on this info help many thanks chris

hi all does anybody in my area have a VR6 with H&R Coilovers or KW V2 fitted on them and would be willing to take me out in their car so i can see what they are like, as im looking to buy one of the above kits and still cant make up my mind which one!! :confused4: im in Devon many thanks chris

very nice mate, love the stance want coilover kit have you got? love the colour and u have air con :) yeah nice motor mate welcome chris

i agree with Dr.mat, those bottom ends go on forever if looked after, has the head been off yet??? whats you oil consumption like? is there a reason why you say its emminant? dont fix something that aint broke regards Chris

now one of the mods quoted on hear that there where near 9000 corrado forum users on here, he didnt actually state the percentage which were cocks, and i know cocks (as mr clarkson would put it) used to do drive BMW's and have apparently moved into AUDIs but i didnt realise that a small number had brought VW Corrados as well!!!! seriously tho guys WHY?? yeah a jokes a joke but if someones posted up on here, and it has no relevance to me or help to them i just dont bother you better make that 8999 corrado forum users if all i get is shit from a load off key board Warriors!!! lock this one mods im wasting my time :?

it was between junction 17 and 18 of the m4, was coming back from the mk1 golf owners annual meet at billing, i was eatin a BK meal at the Leighdelamere services with my partner, when three lads spotted my mk1 in the car park one took a couple of pics as i said before, then they drove over to it and back around, ask if it was my car i said yeah, they said nice mk1 mate and they were on there way!! thanks for the kind words lads who ever u are? lol like i said would be great to get a copy of the photos as i said before plus my cameras crap they were in a classic green vr6 storm with red rear tint lights sorry for all the confusion any help i would be most gratful. p.s. the show was very good by the way!! :D

well seeing a he was driving a CORRADO VR6 and this is a CORRADO FORUM i thought it would be the best place to start!!!

hello, just wondering if it was anybody on here taken a few snap shots of my lhasa green mk1 golf gti at the m4 services just before you get to bristol, you have a classic green VR6 storm, three lads in it around 7:30 ish, if so could you forward me the pics as i have not got many decents photo of her, and i looked like you had a very flash camera many thanks Chris L

cheers gentle il tell the missus to put the jiff away :lol:

ive brought some new under bonnet sound proofing for my vr, i started taking the old stuff of,which end up falling off as i touched it, however the glue that originally stuck it there, IS STILL THERE and will not shifting, the missus even came out to help, which was great to start off with, but i nearly went down for murder :) when i caught her wanting to use jiff and a skrower :bad-words: :cuckoo: so whats the best way without damaging the paint work and gettin the glue off so i can put the new ones on! cheers Chris
