correct me if im wrong but are the gti's internals lower then the other mk3s. because your all talking about 60mm drops being low but my 1.4 is down 110 on the back and 95 on the front and theres no real problems  :lipsrsealed:



no rubbing arches, no scrapping parts. yes its stiff and you have to hit speedbumps at 1mph but meh. thats on standard bumpstops and bushings to.

lol that is true.

it was more of a response for the people who think 60mm is low.

my gti(which isnt a heap) is going that low if not lower :D

Get the nuts from vw, they aren't expensive.

Nuts are only £1.72 from vw.

Yes as i said they are cheap.
I had to change them on an Audi 90 a few years back, the garage that worked on the car previously had used a chisel and hammer to remove them  :sick:
