Re: Low Riders Show Off - How low are you?

This is my daily... These were taken on Monday as soon as i'd fitted the coilies. It's settled about another 5-10mm since then! :cool:

Re: RS8 Alloys on a black passat (advice needed)

I have the RS8 replicas on my B5, but mine are ET35 and fill the arches nicely (3mm spacer on rears too). I bought mine off a friend who'd had them on his Mk4 Golf for a year. The laquer had peeled on all 4, so i got the DA sander out and refurbed them, and painted them gloss black :cool: They do we...

Re: Confused about Coilovers

I've got hot tuning (TA Technix) coilies on mine. The ride quality is great considering how low i'm running!
The only problem i've got at the moment is the n/s/f spring is rubbing on the bolt for the top arm inner bush :roll: Just need to turn the spring when i get a minute so it misses :lol:

Re: Unusual lights problem!

Check bulbs are fitted the right way round, and also check for corrosion on the bulb holder and plug. Sounds like there's a short somewhere, or a bulb fitted wrong.

Re: b5 gen vw xenons help?

I've just fitted mine today Dave... Make sure the 2 pin plug on the ballast pack is connected the right way round. The clip on the wiring plug snaps over the wedge shaped notch, not the post. If this is the wrong polarity it could cause the problem you're having. I'll add some pics in the morning so...

If you're running the same width tyres all round, it doesn't matter if the rims are different widths. Also, don't worry about spacers and wheel offsets upsetting the diffs etc. They wont :wink: As long as all 4 wheels turn at the same speed and have the same tread pattern, that's all you have to wor...

Re: havnt seen this done much

I don't think there is an actual "minimum light output" for headlamps... As long as they emit (sp?) enough light to light up the road, and have the correct beam pattern.
They look cool tho, much better than all that chrome IMO... Not too dark either :wink:
