Fucking love the Macs, i was so close to hooking up a set before i sold up.
As we were saying on IG..

Thats on Bump stops, when i had the wheels on 1st time around. was a thumb width between fender and rim, with 2mm rubber washers (used in plumbing) used as bump stops, as they are solid rubber and 2mm, was easy to stack, and then just slice off 1 by 1 to get perfect set up.

Still as you can see, because of the poke (10j et4) the arches hit when fully loaded (2 passengers out back and trunk full of luggage) even with the bump stops.
Had the rear arches done, and then shot it for PBMW on that set up.
Once i got the Broadways, then it all made things like a million, trillion times easier and better, and then im not even talking about the ride quility. as on the bump stops before it was horrible and it made it impossible to drive hard as the rear spring rates mixed with bump stops and camber meant rear was so super sketchy!
This one with the Broadways on you can see, the rear sits lower, literally never hit and drove 500 miles to Paris and back with everyones luggage as the RX7 and S2k both had no luggage space. lol
I also took 5mm off that adapters, so making it 10j et9 on the rear.
and you can see on this screenshot of the VWDays video (http://vimeo.com/46368003) just how close i set the rim-fender gap for the journey, yet had the Broadways on medium set up, not even stiff.
after the trip i stiffened it up fully and the rear came down about 5mm and thats how Keilan shot it for the SW blog.
So i think you can defo get her sitting pretty with that poke on the rear.
