Title: Slamming my dub???
Post by: benjgti2 on 21 May 2008, 10:10
I really want to slam my golf down low! (lower than a snakes bollox) I have it lowered 35mm at the moment but it just doesn't seem enough........
Are there risks?
How Low?
Do things start wearing differently?
I have heard of drop link rods and stuff but what are they?
IM CONFUSED!!!  :undecided: NEED HELP??
Also any suggestions on what kit to use?

THANX!
BEN

ha ha yeah not far off! it gives the cv's and bushes a good beating as well, if you use it alot i wouldnt suggest goin proper low, i only do about 3000 miles a year so it spends most of its time sat on the driveway

another thing to watch is the dogbone, mines had some heavy impacts with the floor and can crack your gearbox housing

ok 65mm sounds good... my sump has already cracked once! i probably do 20k miles a year.... would i need anything else to lower it down safely or just the coil overs??
What are drop link rods?
Are there rally sumps available???
