lowering help > mk3 VR6
« on: 30 December 2009, 10:00 »
Hi there folks !
I have lowered my VR a fair bit, its on 17' audi tt comps with 205/35/17 rubber ( spec 2s !), i am now finidng the arches are scrubbing a little at the front,

what the maximum lowering amount that people tend to find is ok without arch work

i may just dremel the lip off the arches yet

I was running mine around 60mm drop and would catch now and again, TT comps are 32 offset which will not help.

Why not have the lips rolled.

More to point, why would anyone want to lower it that much?
It can't be very comfortable  :grin:

Trust me, I was running 85mm front and 70mm rear drop and it was a nightmare.
