Title: Random Question GTI ride height
Post by: Rockey5uk2001 on 23 June 2013, 22:24

Now as far as I am aware my car is not lowered.

However it does scrape the underside of the car on speed bumps and when im taking the car up the lane to put into the garage again underside scrapes

and they are not massive speed bumps or anything

However it does have 15" mk 3 alloys but just wondered if anyone else had this issue ?

I used to get it, but on 16" alloys lowered about  40mm. the garage drive was quite steep.
it used to be worse with my 25st mother in law in the back  :lipsrsealed:
