lowering springs
« on: 09 June 2009, 20:36 »
Hi, I'm a novice looking to lower my mk2 gti. I plan to put 16" wheels on it. Can you recommend whether to use lowering springs or get adjustable shocks? Also if I decide to go with springs can you recommend which size to get - I don't want it scraping the floor but enough to notice the drop.

Thanks a lot

I would run coilovers, at least you can pick the height you want.

I had lowering springs with 15's and they were alright but would rub on the tyres if I had a fat lass in the car  :tongue:

Upgraded to Hottuning Coilovers about 2 months ago and now the car sits perfect. No more rubbing and a better ride too.

I got mine from ebay but if you check the special discount section of this site they have a deal with Hottuning so I recommend you do that if you've got the benjamin.
