Title: Finally got her low!!
Post by: Nino on 06 December 2012, 21:45
Well after 3 failed attempts (most will know why) She went into the garage and i got her dropped, and change the mounts etc, and then got her tracked up afterwards, Im loving the ride now much much better :)

Good job, bet your happy now there fitted.

I would level her out a bit tho because the front is so low it's making the rear look funny.

Nice 1 looks better lowered but I have to disagree I have 18s with kw Konig coils and the ride is fine 18s look good on a mk4

No I agree 18's do look good, just the ones I had on my car gave a horrible ride and that was on standard suspension, I understand that this could of been due to the wheels/tyres but I personally pre-fer the ride with my 17"'s but I also prefer the look on 18"'s :)

Its crayron red i think, all i know is its a standard vw golf colour lol the wheels where tht colour when i got them, i did plan on changing the colour but funds where low after buying 4 new tyres as well lol and its kinda growing on me. Im still abit unsure weather they look hood or not lol.

like them rims  :wink: personally i would of gone with 18s but i cant argue, 17s or defo more comfy, although with the right ride hight on 18s, (not too low) the can be quite smooth. still liking the Rims mate, wel-jel as my mate puts it  :huh:  :laugh:

I agree it would look better without the GTI badge.
Looks cool, only ever ran mine on 18s so cant comment on the 17/18 debate, unless someone wants to donate me some 17s and ill give you my opinion  :grin:
