Lowering query
« on: 24 August 2009, 19:28 »
hello fellow mk4 owners!   :cool:

I want to lower my car and am looking for advice on what brand of springs is worth spending my money on.  I'm not looking for adjustable ride height or anything like that,  just lower and stiffer.  Any ideas?

Cheers.

nippy is probably the right word,  but not fast.  very sluggish on the off,  not too bad when you get the revs up though.  I HATE the handling.  Are all mk4's like boats?

performance is OK at best - cruises alright but you got to thrash it to make progress

DERV FTW  :evil:
