I don't want coilovers and love the raked look of MkIII's with 60/40 kits, but every application seems to exclude Cabrios. Is anyone using the Weitec kit...recommendations?...feedback from other applications...VR6?

That car looks badass..That's exactly the stance I want, but with a 2.0 I wonder if it will sit a little higher in front...

Well like I said I got the VR6 springs, so I'm sure if you get the 2.0 springs it will sit as it should. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

ImageShack is having a tough time loading, hopefully the pics will show. If not, I will host them elsewhere.
Rear shock has multiple grooves for spring perch, so you can adjust to taste.

Here is the Weitec 60/40 cup kit you originally asked about. The rear is set on the middle setting, all the way down it was a slight reverse rake. Hope that helps!

That helps alot! Does the ride suck. Did you get the Cabrio specific kit like what Rapid Parts offers, or did you get a MkIII VR6 kit? Thanks...

I got the mkIII VR6 60/40 Springs - the ride is fine in combination with Bilstein Sport struts. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

The ride on the Supersport kit is soft compared to other suspensions I have used, especially coilovers (H&R, KW, and Bilstein). On the way to H2O, a friend riding next to me mentioned how the suspension did a lot of movement over bumps on the highway. Meaning, it wasn't transferring the bumps to the body. But that's also why my ET13 wheels with 195/45 tires rub badly in the rear. The rear is tucked most of the time riding on the highway.
The pictures above were taken right after installation. The suspension settled a little after a week or so.
If you are not going to use a low-offset wheel/tire setup, you shouldn't have much problem rubbing except the front fender liners when turning sharp.
