Title: just dropped my car by 40mm....advice needed...
Post by: cmp1378 on 14 August 2005, 11:23
I told myself I wouldn't do it,but recently I lowered my 1.8 20v non-turbo by 40mm and have added a set of Audi 17's with 225/45 rubber,and it looks good and handling has obviously improved without losing too much ride comfort.The only thing is,living in Herefordshire close to the Welsh border,they don't seem able to make smooth roads with no pottholes in,so I am experiencing the odd clonk,rattle and sometimes thud.Could this be down to worn bushes?
Also,as I was trying to keep the cost down,I opted for standard VW GTI shocks,was this wise?
Can someone also tell me how I get pictures on to this site?

I've waffled on for long enough now,must go!!!!

I've got exactly the same setup as you.  It only clunks when I go over a massive pothole. Apart from that, its smooth as.
