Shame Jim would like to see your car on the coil overs. You need to get a photo whilst it is nice today and this week :thumbleft:

Another couple of recent pics of the car lowered. VW festival 2016
-
Advise needed: i have 5mm spacers fitted on the rears, i have VW Monties wheels on, the centre cap would not fit over the wheel bearing cover so this is why the spacers were fitted, the question is will it be ok to run this set up without the need to use longer wheel studs, bearing in mind it's only 5mm.

See Leon's post top of this page.

Cheers for that Ian :thumbleft:

Cheers for that ^

Require just one rubber as the bobble end has broke off :help:

Any pics yet Jim? I took my car for the tracking setting up and camber, they used a 4 wheel alignment malarky. Drove it for 2 weeks and re-check was done it did need adjusting again, with no charge so all good now :)
-
Had what i think is a nice photo taken of the car (ignore the blurry version of me in the back ground) with the ride height now sorted.
-
Did you sort the ride height then Jim?
-
Cheers Sam, they look better now the car is lower. I went to the VW festival last weekend and had lots of good feed back.
-
Nice one Jim glad you got them sorted. Did you see my pics of the ride height of mine?
-
Well after running now with them on the car for 2 weeks I'm quite impressed with the ride quality and set up height. Have run around town, country roads and on the motorway with no issues.

Corrado display @ 2016 VW festival
Ray1965 replied to VAG-hag's topic in Event Announcements & Discussion
I attended on the Sunday was a good day, counted around 30 Corrado's, even pushed a poorly G60 onto the display with a broken cv joint. Was nice to see so many good examples of cars all in one place. :thumbleft: -

I registered on the VW festival web site under the Corrado section a few weeks ago, the thing is someone said the Corrado stand is only on the Saturday and not on Sunday, that is when I'm going can anyone please confirm. -
Cheers Goldie, Took a gamble with them had them refurbed as well.

Quick update. Bought the coil overs and are now fitted to the car. This was the second adjustment as the car was too low at first to get on my drive way without ripping the cat off. So opted for this height. Here's a few pics on how the car stands now.
-
Set slightly higher now, 97 mm from the bottom thread of the strut if i remember correctly. Will give you something like this ride height. Before and After.
-
Adjusted down last night but it's too low, will be adjusting back up and will post a pic.
-
Hi Jim,Sorry to hear you had a bit of a faff with the job. i was advised to keep the to the high setting for 50 to 100 miles before adjusting down to the ride height required. Dont know if this is the norm but the guy is pretty clued up on this stuff machanic etc. What height you going to be running at.

How did you manage to get on the telly with your car? Britpop's

Thanks for your comments, i this week went for coil overs with two members on the forum, call it a mini group buy. So will see how i get on with them. Hope you have success with finding the intake pipe.

Just read the thread good price for a storm, agree little on the cheap side for what sounds like to be a good car. Liked the comment dont ever be a car sales man..lol :bonk: So a new question to you all what does a "normal" Corrado bring VR6 with say 91k on the clock good history and in good condition?
