i might just go for that...

i just had the exact same thing on monday, Priced up a standard front spring, £40 +vat. Or a full Set of jamex 35mm lowering springs £60 delivered.  so its now 35mm lower!
 

do you have any trouble with speed bumps or anything?
when i put a jamex kit on my mk3 i was scrapping on speed bumps and all sorts.. (stated it was a 40mm kit but was hell of alot lower) i just want something to look neat and drive comfortable really..

You wont have no problems with speed bumps with a 35mm drop  unless you got monster ones around your way

well, you know them big square red ones that all cars hate, well, theres loads leading each direction away from my house, so i have no choice to go over them. my mk3 had a job to manipulate them..  but that was slammed..
also when i bought the kit they said it was only 40mm, to late when i fitted it as i had to destroy the old stuff to get them off.

I roadtested the car over speed bumps after I fitted them and they were fine

[Steve_PD]

Your be fine, mines lowered about 45-50mm and I have no problems going over any bumps

  the missus will be happy then... i`ll wait till the mk3 is sold then i`ll buy some..

Its not really a good idea to use the car until fixed as mine had gone at the top of the spring and the spring was resting on the housing in the wheel arch.

the turret you mean?. oh, dear...  still not 100% sure its snapped yet.. was reading somewhere that it could be the top mount bearings as its only happeining at low speeds.
i will have a closer look today..

[mikemk4gti]

yeah the turret, also someone else on here said the spring went through the side of their tyre!
