Title: HOW LOW?
Post by: georob on 12 November 2003, 13:12

How low can i drop my mk2 without having to touch the arches? I've 195/50/15's on her. Was hoping to go for 65-70mm low but not sure.

Thanx

To go that low you should change your shocks because more than 40mm and the shocks will burst the wheels will and touch the arches.

Why not go for height/damp coilovers. Then you can drop it how low u want?

Mines droped somewhere between 60 and 70mm (brought them 2nd hand, so I don't know exactly) and ive got 195/50/15s and hey went on know problem. My rims are 6.5" wide but you may have problems if you have 7" wide rims.
