Looks a good height :wink:

Yea hacked off is an understatement but it was good for me because I had ANOTHER 1.4, which I was bored of, so he bought it off me for £1400. That means I got £3k for 2 1.4 Golfs :grin:

^^ That's lower than 60/40

60/40 on 15's will leave massive arch gap

Arch gap = fail

im not sure what the drop is just wound the coillies down until the ride was rough enough to cope with lol.  if i remember the back is about 5-10mm higher.  collies are the way forward.  lowering springs are ok if you replace shocks with them aswell.  otherwise the shocks will be compacted all the time and give up the ghost in no time.

Spot on, cheap coilovers are horrid, I would never use them again.
