Title: Pic request Please.
Post by: Leeparkes on 31 January 2014, 18:08: New owner of a 2001 black Gti but its running standard ride height and looks errrr... ridiculous!
I would like to lower it (springs only) but not sure what drop to go for, i was thinking a 40mm drop but not sure if it is enough as at the moment it is looking quite high up.
So please if you could post up a pic of what you have it and the drop it would be much appreciated :smiley:

Thanks (in advance)
