🤣 absolutely slammed first time round. Looks lovely at that height mate, sits so much nicer. I've been trying to convince Carli the TF needs a bit of a lower since she got it!
Hi, I have just put on a set of Fuchs wheels on my 924S. And the wheels on the left side sticks out of the wheel arch more than on the right (drivers side). It’s like the cross member is slightly off center. Can you see the same on your car? Mine is 86 924S
So the chassis is likely fine, the struts are adjustable so you should be able to adjust the upper bolt that goes through the shock, this will bring the wheel closer or further. Adjust this and hopefully it will get the wheel where you'd like it 👍
Imagine going to all this effort to be nasty but in turn only successfully boosting someone’s engagement on YT and making them money. Very odd behaviour.
Great work, lads. love the channel. Keep it up
Thank you, kind words like these mean a huge amount when I'm sat editing video's to the early hours!
@usuallybrokencars I appreciate your effort. I've a 79 924. I'm learning plenty thanks to your awesome channel
@@Restoration9s no worries, there is plenty more to come
Bravo! Ordering mine today! Thanks for the great tip. :)
Amazing! You're most welcome. Let me know how you get on!
Looks spot on at that height. It’s made such a great difference to how the whole car looks
@@omsimracing yes it do

Thanks mate, I think we should make this happen!
Nice subtle lowering job 👍
Thanks mate
Looks great guys well done! What was the rear height after your adjusted it as low as you could?
so the rear lowered the car 35ish mm in the end, I was really pleased with that. The front was about 45mm after it settled.
Looks great!
It does!
Great work guys this is something im gona be doing this winter so you fitted golf gti shocks and standard golf gti springs on the front?
Yes sir! The bilsteins may be slightly shorter 🤷🏼. But otherwise yeah man, gti shocks and springs, just use the 924 top hats!
Perfect ride height 👌
Thanks ✌️
Big channel one day 👍
Hope so! I appreciate the kind words
Looking good 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
So much better mate
Really is
Looks great!, so to recap, mk1 GTI shocks with stock springs? 👍
Yes sir 🫡. Just use the original porsche top mount. Everything else just bolts up a treat! Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
Nice- looks much better...
Really does change the stance of the car
First set was perfect! I mean, who needs to turn the wheel, right? 😂😂😂 But I guess you’re right, the second set were more practical 😏
I mean the sumo was about 35mm off the floor, prime to get smashed
What are those four lugs spiders? I'm looking for similar to the stock ones but a bit wider.
They are Autostar Minus

My 924 doesn’t have those adjustable bolts for the rear torsion bars
That's really interesting - what year is your 924? I thought they were standard.
@@usuallybrokencars it’s a 1977.5 so it has the super beetle rear suspension but with a sway bar
Any ideas for disc/caliper upgrades guys?
So the hubs are the same as super beetle, so you may be able to grab a cheap upgrade that way?
@@usuallybrokencars Thank you👍
The height looks awesome! First set was way too low! 😂
Yes it was!
how much lower is the rear now after turning the bold?
About 30mm
So, what was the measurement for the rear?
Approx 40mm mate
Wanna sell it 😂
Ha! You wish! Possibly the only car in my collection that I don't want to sell.
What a waster
Thank you for the support
