don't quite think thats what he's asking...if you look at my project section you can see how low my car was in the first shot, so compare it to how yours is now. its not too low but as we have the same cars its a good idea of how yours should be. i'd still go for the venom 55mm kit if you want to go fairly low

of your car as i want to buy a kit.

No wonder no-one replyed, feel a little stupid now, maybe no-one noticed  :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

was just thinking of going for the streetline kit as you said the build quality wasn't quite as good on the venom kit, want to go a bit lower but tring to do it on a budget but still quality items.

you could see if they would just sell the shocks seperately and then get some lower springs? that way you get the better bilstein shocks with the drop you want?

im not running the streetline kit but im running blisten shocks and 40mm springs with the bonrath lowering top mounts also, so the front sits an extra 10-15mm lower

I've got the streetline kit on mine from ECP, ok it's a mk1 but you'll get the idea so look at this thread ---> http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=18540.0 But as luck would have it while I was looking for my old thread, I came across this from Horney on his mk2 ----> http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=19531.0  :smiley:

ok, after much umming and arring i've decided to go for some blistein shocks from the streetline kit with a set of venom -55mm springs, can anyone see a problem with this combination or does it sound ok?

What else is it worth replacing, gonna do strut mounts as they need doing anyway, bump stops? front and rear? anything else?

Title: Re: lowered on streetline kit

I can't say if the combo is ok or not but I can't see why you would have a problem. Why didn't you go for the Ventura springs form the streetline kit just out of interest ?  :huh:

There is something that you need to do when you change the springs, make sure that you get the camber and tracking checked as I guarantee that it will be well out as I found out on mine last week.  :smiley:

Title: Re: lowered on streetline kit
Post by: ...joe on 05 May 2005, 20:11

ok payday this week, gonna get me bits ordered, i've heard you can uprate the strut mounts for mk3 vr6 ones is this corret? or is it the g60 ones?

Title: Re: lowered on streetline kit
Post by: ...joe on 17 May 2005, 21:42

Title: Re: lowered on streetline kit
Post by: Chris_D on 17 May 2005, 22:24

any difference between the 2? there's only about £1 difference between 8valve, vr6 and g60?

Title: Re: lowered on streetline kit
Post by: Gambit on 18 May 2005, 10:08
