Ready to race!
I dont have my notch yet :mad0259: so im just trying to get a good idea. I want to have it something like this:

#3 all the way up
#2 probably my 24.5'' all the way around...for unfamiliar roads and such.
#1 pretty much as low as I can go without rubbing while turning...

I tried to go to 24.0 but the back right was pretty much empty when I was making both sides the same...I think thats because I dont have the notch yet.

Did you remove your rear shock bump stops?

No they are still there

Cut them out! Look a few pages back at my pics. The first one of the rear is with the bumpstops cut in half. This kept the rear up so high. Then I just took them completely out, car was on the ground!

So...question..I have the performance fronts on my mk6. Bodies are threaded up to make them as short as possible but when I air out passenger side sits at 21 1/4" FTG and the driver is 31 5/8"FTG any way I can get them to even out?

I have:
No sway bar
Notch

Anything else that could be holding up the driver side?

10" higher on the driver side? Haha this had to be a typo.

I need to roll my fenders. I'm getting some rubbing with my 18x8 et45 wheels. :(

looks good...be careful with those mudguards...if you are on an uneven surface you risk jacking up a fender.

What size tires are you running? Did you remove the fender screw, pull the plastic clamp out and push the metal up in the fronts?

Check a few things:

Make sure tire pressure is even all around.

Check to make sure your fender liners aren't resting in tire. If you have less camber on one side it can push up on fender or liner holding up vehicle.

Check the clamps that hold front strut, are they exactly the same? Being off by 3mm at the strut clamp can articulate and be 6mm at the fender for example.

Also, is your turbo outlet resting on your axle? Mine does and I'd assume this causes the height diff also.

I am running 225/40/18. I did pull the screw out along with the piece the screw "screws" into. I then tucked the fender plastic above the fender tab and Bent the fender up some. Still get rubbing. Not sure where it's hitting though.
