Coilovers (crosspost)

[Siege]

Thanks rabbit. I bought an entire set of spacers (1") with new bolts since I was low on space anyway. I hope they work, but might have to grind the studs down a bit. eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

So I guess i am still in for the group by on your adapter kit for my MK1s. I only needed like 5mm and with the size of tire I got there wasn't much I could do as far as adjusting the spring or removing the helper to free up space. However I figured it would be easier and nicer to give my tire plenty of room anyway. I can let you know how it goes

However the Rokkor MK1s should still work on my front correct?

the mk1 rokkors will be ok with the front, you will be "lower" initially, and also need to grind an additional @8mm from the spindle top to make it work. But they will be acceptable otherwise.

Great thanks, I also just bought some wheel spacers - I attached a picture. I will let you know how install goes... I think I may just offset the back right now so people think I basically have a rear-wheel drive drag car haha

Great place if in need of quality spacers.

I mean they are not really hubcentric, they are based on the lug. I don't think I really now how to answer that question lol. And I have a link above to the ebay link I purchased them. They fit perfect for me, correct thread and clearance, but that is if you want like an 1" spacer. They feel solid enough, but I am sure its a lower grade aluminum - so I am sure it won't look pretty long, but it will get the job done. Here is a picture with the shoes on, I am going to raise the back a bit higher, and hopefully get the lowering adapter kit when Rabbit gets the adapters in. Still sitting on my MK1 coilovers for the front. Also cleaned up the engine a bit

Rabbit - Just a heads up the MK1 Kit that I got from Rokkor - the fronts did not match up. The spindles spacing between the holes was about 1/4" more than the Coilover. I am not sure if anyone else had this problem, but I broke my bit trying to grind some away. I will have to see if I can run to a machine shop or get some better grinding bits to take care of it :P
