This is not really the place to see how low can you go, i think FK coillies go the lowest.
PS is this low enough. :evil:

You have one guess as to the company responsible?

Thik-Fit? :rolleyes:
And has your car been through a mangle - your sig pic is a bit squashed! :tongue:
-
get that wheels taken off fella and get it done at vw or another grg :shocked:
-
Haha, I don't want to get told off by JV and I can't be arsed to do a proper one. I'll change it soon, maybe.
Thats the boys. I had a puncture and they were the only place that had the same tyre, trust me it wasn't out of choice.
-
Mine on Eibachs - they actually ride very well, but then I don't have it dropped on its knees.

Its doin me head in. Anyway, I reckon JV will still 'ave yer - cause that pic is just bringing the Golf into disrepute! :tongue: :laugh:

But it aint rocket science. All they need to do is let the air out, brake the beads, and rotate the tyre 180degrees on the rim. I thought every tyre fitter knew that! They really are incompetent monkeys at Thik-Fit. If I ever drove by a Thik-Fit garage on fire, I'd empty my petrol jerry cans on it. :rolleyes:

I had the Eibachs on the ED30, the ride quality is good, I think for the money they are tops :smiley:
-
Not lowered mine much, but it is sitting on Eibach's and I concur with my fellow gentlemen about the ride and quality of them :smug:

I've never seen rear height adjusters that sit on the top of the spring before, all previous brands of coilovers I've seen have had them on the bottom.
-
It really isn't lowered much is it hurdy, think mine had the collar wound about half way down the thread
-
mines at the bottom :embarassed: :embarassed:

No pics atm due to computer issues.....
But i am on KW Variant 3, the are 30mm atm. I do find it really quite low, but the splitter and sides don't help. Also the offset for my wheels is wrong so that doesn't help.
But i like 'em low so it's staying where it is :grin:
-
When going low with coilovers are there any drive shaft/anti roll bar issues etc like on the MK4?

Ahh! the screws, totally forgot about them.... Infact i think i might have got someone to do it for me, i can't remember, will check later.

No idea, i got ARB's and brakes fitted at the same time. I love the ARB's i think they are fab
