Mr Rev!

Love the car! Question, how much camber are you running in the FR/RR with the Track Wheels and with your LM-Rs?

And to confirm, your LM-Rs were:

19x9.5 +13 on 265/30/19
19x9.5 +38 on 265/30/19

Correct? How much camber there? Just a simple fender-roll in the front? I notice it still pokes a bit.

I have some 18x10 +20 BBS LMs, according to the calculations, it fits the same as the front, but, the rears it seems like they'll be off by a mile, haha.

Thanks in Advance!

At a Cars and Coffee meet that is gaining momentum here in Sydney Australia. It's an eclectic mix of rare and expensive cars from all marques. Then amongst it all is my humble Scirocco R.

This going to sound really weird but your Scirocco is the desktop background on my work PC haha

I did a google search for a 'Rocco R and thought "that one looks awesome, I'll use that one" didn't realise it was owned by someone on here! Anyway as I said the car looks incredible amazing work.

I recently changed my rear lights to these new Dectane LED's. I think they look better and they fit much better then the first versions they did for the Scirocco. I am also waiting for my new clutch pack to arrive from SSP. (500HP)

They do look great, but I thought there was problem with these in RHD cars - ie that both rear fogs were always on ? Also that the brake lights were not very bright in sunlight ?

Lee those were the JOM lights in regards to brightness.
I also just thought these weren't for RHD cars, which I still don't get why.

No mate I currently have the 400HP version which is fine however the 500HP can handle more torque. Its not the power that fries clutches.

I have had no issues with them. Plug and play with no error codes. Fit is good.
