Title: 1 for people who has kids
Post by: bricey on 23 October 2011, 18:31

hey chaps
the 4mo may have a new set of springs on payday
my question is,if any of you have kids,how do you get on with a lowered car etc and
is it to harsh for the lil kiddys and do golfs act ok being lowered.
thinking it will be ok as my lil one is 2years old but the wife wants another :lipsrsealed:
cheers for any replys

You're more aware of the road surface anyway when your car is lowered. My little un' has just turned 4 and the missus is 4 months gone. 4 year old thinks its funny when we go over speed bumps, but obviously will slow right down with a baby in the car anyway.

I wouldn't lower too much with kids as too much bumpiness makes them sick (or not sleep on long drives!)... go for coils but at a sensible height or a shock/spring kit

I have FK Highsports on my mk2 but my 2 girls dont get in my golf any more for the simple fact they think it's funny to kick the back of the recaros from A to B.

i get on fine with having my passat on coils, and my golf4 was 35mm down on jamex.

jamex springs sucked, and even they weren't a problem

you'll have more problems with the mrs than the kid  :lipsrsealed:
