Mine looks about as low
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

I wouldn't have thought they would settle much, the springs are already worn in, same as the damper.
The drop is about right on mine, I can get over speed bumps (slowly) and also have 5 people in the car with no rubbing

looks nice that  :cool: but as others have already mention and i may as well add i would'nt have removed your front arb it was fitted by vw for a reason i cant imagine that it would handle better without it although maybe because you have wound the collies down further  :huh: imo re-fit or uprate it

Still can't afford one  :sad:
