Does anyone know how low it is safe to lower without causing problems with drive shafts etc due to the alterred angle of operation? Appologies in advance, but I know very little about the VW's and have experience of the issues from the Ford scene with lowered Cosworths and all the issues around drive shafts and suspension geometry angles from running lowered cars.

general rule of thumb is 30-40mm

some people have gone lower and not had any problems

Hard to say my mates is lower than mine and his doesn't rub mine must be 50mm all round, forgot to measure it first. Over bumps and big dips in road mine rub but only on offside!! excact height both sdes tho, looks bloddy good tho will get pic on tomorrow.

I've gone 60mm with no problems but I think thats because I got two seats now
