im doing this tomorrow as well! Im on FK's now <3
So i did the screw mod today, and wanted to know are you meant to push the plastic bit above the flat metal part
i still rub with this mod... time to roll them fenders... especially when i get fks
btw i've stuck with 225/40/18 but lowered at the front by 50mm from GTI height (R32 is already 20mm lower, + another 30mm). The stock dunlops rub less than the Falkens i'm running i think. Going to an ET50 18x8 wheel soon, but with 225's so hopefully no worse.
How bad is your rubbage? You're 18x8et45 right? Now I'm worried...I've got 18x8.5et40 and I'm going to be using Vogtland 50mm springs....hopefully it doesn't rub too bad...
I've got the same setup as he does wheels wise and the supersports drop just about as low in the front as my cupkit does (I measured it against Raphael's one day). Once I removed that screw, I only rubbed on extreme cornering. That was when the tires still had a lot of life on them. Now that they are down almost to the wear indicators, I've taken corners at pretty good speeds with no rubbing.
18x8.5 ET40 though. Maybe get some 215/40/18 tires if you're worried? Talk to InfraRed since he's in the know when it comes to insanity.:lol:
Edit: Sounds like you already have 225 tires. Hmmmm, maybe sacrifice until they wear out and then get some 215's or whatever if you don't mind the stretch. Or roll the fenders a little.
