Title: Finally got lowered but
Post by: spudboy6 on 15 September 2012, 21:21
Fitted my 60/40 kit today and I run 14's and it completely slammed it ! I didn't think it woul get that low on a 60/40

And in the process I broke a rear bleed nipple and a brake pipe was about to burst but glad I caught them early !

Anyways done my 4wheel alighnment camber ect fitted new track road ends and now it drives like it was new !

The old springs were so dead when I pressed the piston in , it didn't even rebound out AT ALL !

Anyways happy man now but can see my 15's fitting under there now ???

15's are standard size on a GTi and mine is lowered 80/70 so you should be fine.

I had mine dropped 120/100 on coilovers with 15s which fitted  fine. Slight tuck but no problems turning or anything so you'll be fine.  :wink:

Sweet suppose I'm on 14's now , so when I fit 15's I'll be an inch off the ground higher and smaller profile in the arch every cloud .....

Looks and hand'els so good . But anything would compared to the old shocks , they where SHOCKING


LOL

Your math is shocking  :laugh:

It won't be inch higher off the ground and top of tyre will be in the same place as the 14"

The overall wheel/tyre diameter should never change!

Bigger wheels will need lower profile ratio tryes.

There are Guides giving this information on here if you look!
