Title: Lowering 35mm
Post by: Lonewolf on 15 October 2012, 13:29

I'm considering lowering my standard 2.0 GTI rolling on 15'' rims. 

I want to close up some of the gap between the arch and the wheel, and would also like it more stable when cornering.  Has anyone got any ideas of a spring/shock set-up that would suit my needs? 

Also, has anyone got any photos of standard GTIs lowered by around 35mm?

Cheers, chaps  :smiley:

Thanks mate, that looks about perfect for me.   :smiley:

Was the ride a lot harder?  Also, those are 16'' rims with 205 55 tyres aren't they?
