A properly good read, and a massive skill set. Well impressed mate.

Would you make another bike rack like you have? If so how much?

Cheers.

Sorry to be quoting pics.
What coilovers are you using toget it sat like this?
I have AP off a mk5 on the front and your about 1" lower. Mine are fully down with no cups/helprs and 12mm chopped off the actual strut at the bottom.
Also sitting that low on the back do you not get the wheel movement where it goes in and out as i would've thought it would touch the arch. Mine would.
Sorry for all the questions ;-)

Cheers

Hi ya.
These photos are with Vmaxx caddy coilovers with the bottom coil cut off of the springs as a test.
I have now had some shorter springs made to get the front low.
The rears are fine when its running without anything in the back but I get tyre rub over bumps when its loaded.
It doesn't move around much at the back because I use the standard rear hangers and they have less flex than the adjustable ones.
