Title: lowering help
Post by: bulak-mk4 on 12 April 2013, 11:07
hi peeps

just lowered my mk4 tdi 130bhp on A-max springs with 45mm all round, now the front sits just
right nice and low but the back is still high compared to the front. I dont understand why.

I also have a mk4 golf 1.8T that the mrs uses thats dropped on 35mm springs and sits perfect.

Is there anyway to lower the back without changing the springs

Not unless you want to start chopping springs which really isn't a good idea.

give it a few days to settle, you may find it may drop a bit yet .

Adjustable drop links are used at the front to try and prevent the arb rubbing on the driveshaft.

This ^^^

There's no real weight at the back so to speak, so takes it while longer to settle. See what its like in a 2/3 weeks
