Title: lowering spring caps do they work??
Post by: rench on 23 March 2012, 23:04

got a mk4 anni and want to lower it some more on the front, be told they lowered 30mm and found these on ebay that will drop it an extra 10mm, so it would be 40mm which is as low as i can go without changing arb. any one used these are they ok? not bad money.

yeh they work but only on a standard style shocker and not a coilover its all to do with how there made basically 10mm shorter than the standard coil spring holder

polo top mounts work too, but i think these take you down about 20mm. but personally id prefer to stick with oe for stuff like this

My Annie's supposobly lowered 30mm anyway so thought these would be alot cheaper than buyIng coilovers just for an extra 10mm lower.
