I lowered my old golf 30mm, wasnt low enough for my liking so going a bit lower this time. Obviously the ride will be a lot firmer but you get used to it. Fitted my old springs and shocks myself, my dad almost broke his thumb but we did it  :laugh:.

remember you get what you pay for... go cheap and you may regret it. I went with a set of weitec springs and shocks, paid about £300 but well worth it imo

If your going to lower it mate, do a proper job and fit some coilovers, mines lowered around 55/60mm

mines decked on jamex coilovers, and are perfect for the price, need get smaller spaces on front tho as 15mm get quite bit of scrubbing from britains dodgy roads  :laugh:  but like they say if it aint scrubbing, u aint vdubbing  :cool:

Suspention that you can raise or normally lower by adjusting some locking rings.

Means on the same set of suspention you can sit you car anywhere between about -30mm and -120mm.. and you can change it whenever you like

Post by: killakam78 on 08 December 2010, 21:30
Ahhhh! So really there just adjustable, it would work out cheaper if i just slam it 40mm on 18""'s
