Title: Anyone done a 35-40mm drop and then used their Mk3 for towing?
Post by: Tim in Holland on 07 September 2008, 12:01

Another Newbie question, does dropping a Mk3 GTi by 35-40 mm still leave it ok for towing a light motorbike trailer?

Obviously care would have to be taken at speed bumps, but due to the fact that you're only looking at 20-50kgs nose weight on the tow bar I can't see this being a big issue. BTW most of the towing will be on smooth motorways.

Cheers, Tim

well my Vr has been lowered not sure 100% as to how much as was allready done when I bought it but I would imagine its 30-40mm and it`s fine when towing a motocross bike and a car full of gear. oh and car still has the standard 15" BBS,hope this helps a little..
