The team dynamics are worth more. Get them, if you don't like them sell them on and buy vtr wheels and have some spare gash.

not just a case of crappy springs

vtr/vts/gti have stiffer ARBs

you might wanna uprate shocks all around

16's rub if the tyre profile is 195/45/16, lowered 60mm at the back you wont even get down the road as it will rub on every bump in the road unless you start angle grinding around the rear wheel arch area. This is exactly what happened to me when i got 16in wheels

If the tyres on the 16in wheels are 195/40/16 then you will be fine lowered 60mm at the back.

So the way to go is either:
16inch wheels with 195/40/16 tyres
15inch wheels with 195/45/15 tyres
Or 14inch wheels where tyre size is less of an issue, commonly 185/50/14 or 185/45/14

The wheels i PM'd you about wont rub at the back and only catch on the front if the car is at full lock and at a dodgey angle.

Also when choosing wheels what about the colour of you car and the rims???
