last minute checks on lowering please.......
« on: 20 March 2009, 19:15 »
hey all i have finally decided to slam the golf  :smiley:
i got my hottuning coilovers and an fk front anti roll bar for her and i have also booked her in on the 4th april to get it all fitted for just £100  :smiley:
but i would like to check everything for one last time....
coilovers i got the 2 front struts and the 2 shocks and 2 springs for the rear.....
and the front anti roll bar is there anything else at all i need to make it as successful as possible?
i.e. do i need adjustable drop links? any new bushes? top mounts?
or should it be ok as it stands at the minute?
thanks alot for help guys cya soon

Top mounts are worth changing, IIRC they cost around £25  :wink:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

If I Remember Correctly (IIRC)  :wink:
The garage got mine when I had them fitted, try GSF of the stealers
