    I have just installed A set of Eibach pro kit and realise there is a butt drag (reverse rake) on my B5.5 Car specs, 2003 1.8T, manual FWD. I have been looking around and it seems some Audi TT rear spring perch could somewhat fix the back drop a little. Here is the original thread where I found...

    Needed AC belt tensioner, not one in town, I can have the part overnight w/Sat delivery for the same money as the stealer can get it in sometime next week. I thought about tossing one in on the original order, but cheaped out. Got the nose off the car, water pump and TB tension roller off...

    Look how my car turned out with Eibach pro-kit springs!* (*on the rears only. Stock in the front. Made you look.) I'll post up the real, finished pics when I can get some daylight hours. I actually have a slight forward rake and none of the butt drop some users reported with the...
