Ah ttrs/RS3 discs are same size @ 370 mm but with smaller 4 pot brembo calipers sounds like you've got RS4/5 set up if you've got 8 pot calipers I think you will need 19's to clear the caliper very tight with a four pot never mind a beastly 8 pot brembo. Good luck

Ripped out the bulkhead, ceiling tay and roof liner; fitted the new Passat W8 light into the ceiling tray and ran the wiring through to the light switch. Also fitted the side door rail cover and rear door handle cover.

Can anyone help me source a website that’s selling Vmaxx Extreme Kits for a MK3? Looking to lower my van now and struggling to find a seller Cheers guys.
Looking to go for either fully dampening and upgrade to Gaz shocks, or a full dampening set!

Today I bought my first caddy!!! :D
It's a 2010 reg, a few battle scars, but much better than most I've seen, ideally I want to facelift or put a touran front end on, so one day it will have a trip to the body shop to get sorted.

Will carry out a full service & proper wash next weekend.

I have 2 more holes at the back I can drop.
The front I can drop 40mm more.
I carry a lot of gear for work so I want to see how it handles before I drop in more.

You reckon if you were to drop those last 2 holes and go down fully on the front it’ll be a lot lower then?

If you want to go really low on the back you either need a wheel centralising kit or go for the super low kit from darkside

Well I have thought about going for that, but then got to source two front coilovers, additional shocks whereas I could buy the whole kit and then upgrade the shocks just not sure on how low the standard Vmaxx kit goes on the lowest setting
