I have heard jom are rather firm and fk ak's (similar price) are a bit softer.. I'm sure with the mk4 you can have driveshaft rubbing issues below 40-50mm lower?

Really? :shocked:
Thanks for the info. I'm on the hunt for a set myself actually as i want to go lower than the 35mm springs i put on a few months back

Yup and adjustable droplinks will not cure it.
Get an TT or R32 arb which goes under the driveshaft
cheers m8, just wanted to no what r32 arb does???

Is slightly thicker than standard, helps handling when cornering hard
goes under the driveshaft instead of looping over like the std one does so doesnt rub however low you go
ok thanks just found some r32 rear 1s they ok??

No you need front

Wouldn't that cause even more under steer!

I think an even worse idea is taking it off altogether :smiley:

how easy is it to fit a tt arb?

Adjustable droplinks do help to a degree when you cut them down further than they can go :wink:
