Title: how low can I go??
Post by: darthcrab on 22 January 2008, 15:36

im waiting on some coilovers to turn up, and ill fit them on as soon as, ill be running around on stock gti alloys for a month or 2, untill I can afford some 18`s..
question is, how low can I go until I start hitting arb? and if Go as low as I can with gti rims, will that still look good with 18`s under at same setting? if you get what I mean
cheers guys..... the crab :huh:
