ah, thanks ross mate, have you dun anything to the interior of the lupo?
No mate, fully standard. Would like some leather one day though, if I keep it long enough . Not only that but I'd like different front seats, ie, OEM VW ones.
First thing I'll probably do interior wise though is change the stereo, my standard CD player skips quite a bit, especially now it's lowered!
#184: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Wheels & Coilovers are on! Pics pag Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Sat May 29, 2010 4:51 am ---- I've fitted my 5mm rear spacers aswell, looks better now as the rear pokes about the same as the front.
I'll post pics soon.

#187: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Rear spacers on. Pics page 13 Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Sat May 29, 2010 5:53 am ---- Cheers! Just looking into how to fit the camber shims, don't fancy attempting it though

From what I've heard from a few boys who are running them they are a big job to fit.
But will definately...how much camber you looking to run?
#189: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Rear spacers on. Pics page 13 Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Sat May 29, 2010 6:04 am ---- Just re-read my instructions and I understand now how to set them at what camber you want, it's just the fitting part now. I've heard it's actually quite easy and I have a how-to aswell, just a shame I'm a bit of a novice and I'm scared to attempt it!
Is toe-in classed as negative or positive toe?
#190: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Rear spacers on. Pics page 13 Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Sat May 29, 2010 6:04 am ---- Looks really good, could still be lower i reckon tho
#191: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Rear spacers on. Pics page 13 Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Sat May 29, 2010 6:11 am ---- I live on a speed hump, seriously . In all honesty I think I'd have serious problems if it was any lower. If you read my post about the car grounding out on a flat road you'd understand (although it was a single track road with camber and debris in the middle). I also worry every time I go over those plastic/rubber speed humps that are bolted down, you know the ones, normally yellow and black and really harsh. I always feel like my sills are gonna hit them, they haven't, but it's always a worry, can't be far off!
I've answered my own question about the toe-in lol, I can see from looking back at my wheel alignment sheet that I've got negative toe, which is toe-in. Some people say it's toe that kills tyres not camber, and I can re-adjust my toe to somewhere near zero with these shims.
#192: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Rear spacers on. Pics page 13 Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Sat May 29, 2010 6:15 am ---- Oh and Uz, I'm thinking maybe -2 degrees on the back which is the same as the front then. Looking at my chart though it seems like I can only get like 1 degree 7 minutes , and you hear people saying they're running 3 degrees etc, so that's a bit confusing!
#193: Re: Ross' VW Lupo GTI - Rear spacers on. Pics page 13 Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Sat May 29, 2010 3:55 pm ---- looks sick mate
