Title: Spax 45mm lowering springs
Post by: iansabf on 08 July 2011, 18:18
Has anybody got spax 45mm lowering springs on there golf? Just ordered some. Done some searching but i can't find much about them in the way of positive/negative feedback or photos. Also wondering if i'm going to needed adjustable drop links or a new arb after lowering?

Cheers for the reassurance! i hope they will be ok. Mines not a gti so surely a 45mm drop is the same as a 30mm drop as they sit 15mm higher?
