Title: How low?
Post by: 152GTI on 22 May 2006, 15:25

Hi i'm new to the VW scene and this forum and could do with some advice. Ive just got a mk 4, 2 litre GTI and recently put some 18" RS 4's on it. I'm wanting to lower it but not sure how low I can go before it starts getting complicated. I was told about 40mm on eibach springs would do the job? Any ideas?

hi there, 40mm sounds ok....any lower tho' and ive heard that the a.r.b's need to be uprated

Mine was dropped about 70mm and I never had a prob, ARB would rub now and again on full right hand lock :undecided:.  There are different types of ARB's and driveshafts tho
