so i decided sod it, it's not low enough! have now removed the rear adjusters and the front helper springs and wound them all the way down  :cool:

ride is harsh and bouncy as anything but i love how it looks now  :smiley:

also deleted my rear wiper, she's now officially finished! here's a pic from monday nights 'Daily Dubs' meet, the car club that i run :)

Looks smart..

Funny how it seems to be the same size as a mk4.

so i've picked up some 17s and am having the tyres fitted today, will also be spraying them this weekend so watch this space for a bit of a change and a much meaner stance :P

little sneak preview of what's been going on...

Been looking at getting one of these but in a 1.9tdi, is there any issues lowering them with driveshafts or anything rubbing etc like on the mk4s?

well mine's wound all the way down on the front with the helpers removed and the back has had the adjusters removed... i do get a noise from the front that i thought was a topmount but i replaced it and it still does it, so no idea what it is but it doesn't really bother me aha
