40mm drop

[GolfGL]

The joys of not having a lowered car on previous cars though i layer up some strips of wood and get it high enough for a proper trolley jack. Dont mess around with the VW jack unless you have to as doesnt take much for them to slip and ruin your side skirt/bodywork.

you cant get a jack under after a 40mm drop? your jack must be huge 

i am 10mm away from the bottom thread on my coilys at the front and they say they lower to 120 so if thats the case im down 110mm and i just use the standered jack to get enough hight to get trolley jack under.

You will find lowering the coil 10mm will lower the car more than 10mm maybe 12/13mm.

I changed the shocks and spring son my Gti for Gmax shocks with -40mm springs and i have to use the standard jack to lift the car so the trolley jack fits
