Don't think it's lowered as it must be sitting down slightly as well with the other wheels being up the kerb and it's still sitting standardish ?

Do you mean is there something wrong with your top mounts that are in the picture ?

yeah is there something wrong there - i am looking to replace the wheels as they are the wrong et and they are a little all over the road and kncking on arches or something since i got the tracking done. I want to know what size wheels I can put on it because the garage is telling me it needs to be 14" but I thought 15" is possible too from the other posts here

15" are spot on and 16" are possible but I'm not sure if anything else has to be done so I have 2 sets of Bbs 15" wheels for mine which are the original standard wheels !

I'm no expert on the top mounts, I replaced mine this year with Febi ones and they are great. What is wrong with them ?

i though you can see on the space or so whether suspension is gone or not? car handling is no great at the moment and need to replace a few things but was wondering if i need to replace suspension again as well

I couldn't tell you to be honest but I have read earlier this year on a thread about dodgy top mounts and that's why I got febi ones which people had little problem with

Sorry I can't help more :-(

hey, can anyone let me know if my shocks are gone again from the picture? only go them replaced in october, then got track rods done and tracking + camber - the wheels are the wrong et apparently and what I have noticed is that gradually getting worse there is now a knocking noise from the left wheel when I take corners. Before I used hear a little scrape/knocking when turning steering wheel fully but now its when i turn it 180 degrees only going around corners.

do i need to fix suspension again + wheels?
