Title: Ride height at the front
Post by: Splash on 21 April 2007, 09:27

My 1994 16v GTi is running standard springs and shocks (probably the originals) but in my opinion stands a little too high at the front. Anyone else notice this with their car? Do the later mk3s, which appear to sit better, have slightly shorter springs at the front?

mk3 golf's front suspension is set for all year's and model's to be approx 15-20mm higher at the front and even mine lowered at 40mm sit's a little to high on the front...you can get 60/40mm lowereing spring's or get lowered spring cap's
