Will be in coilovers I think

If coilovers then its down to you how low you go. Screw them up or down till your happy.

I may have some JOM's for sale in the next few weeks, just over a year old. Located in Grantham if you're interested

Bear in mind that you'll run into arb issues when you get to about 50mm.
-
How much you looking for the coilovers ?

Depends how they look when I take them off, probs around the £90 mark. I have the box and receipt so they'll still be under warranty until next february.
Like I said though wont be until a few weeks cus I'm living in leeds atm so will be taking them off when i help my parents move.
Only removing as I am returning to standard to sell, if i have time to remove the front tt arb i'll be selling that too so no rubbing issues. If you sort some in the mean time no worries, just giving a heads up

here's my set up on monza's to give you an idea on looks if you do go the coilover route, i rub on full lock, no spacers, but i am very low. Depends on how you set up

In my opinion, no 17/18" wheels look good on a standard height MK4.

17's on standard ride height....
-
exactly, as good as any 18'' wheel can lol bit of a 4x4. I'll see if i can dig out an old photo. I don't suppose you'll be selling those standard wheels? are they monty II's?
-
beaten to it
-
Your silver mark 4 looks really nice with them monzas on how far have you got that lowered ?

Not sure probably 60-70mm I haven't measured it though tbh it was done the old fashioned way by sticking a finger width between the wheel and arch :grin: however it has settled since then
-
Is the rubbing an issue then anything you can get to stop that , would you say coilovers are the best option ?
-
Running on driveshaft issues are cured with a tt or r32 front arb, on the arches depends on height of car and wheel set up.
The best option depends on what you wants. You can go lower on coilovers but they are harsher than springs and shocks. I'm fine with the ride, the gf hates it :grin:
-
Thanks for your help mate really appreciate it I don't no an awful lot about modifying cars I'm hopefully getting the wheels put on in a week , it's totally standard at min silver and it's 3 door will upload a pic for you once they are on see what you think , then will get the springs

No worries pal, glad to help. I've learnt loads since joining the site, there's a wealth of knowledge on here and everyone's decent so you'll have all the know how to get stuck in!
