Title: how low should i go?
Post by: nath:gti on 27 February 2008, 20:18: start of by saying hello, i've been lurking on this site since i got my gti and only just joined today.

how low do you think i should take my car? it's got 17's on and the back of the car rubs slightly already but as far as i know the car still has standard suspension.

here's a few images anyway.

Post by: nath:gti on 28 February 2008, 11:01: 205/17/45's at the moment, think if i go to 40 will be alright. i do plan on getting the arhes rolled though as i would like to be able to get one person in the back of the car.
