Looks sick, debating how to lower mine, think I may well do the same now! Let us know if you have any rubbing problems, also is the ride much harsher? It doesn't really bother me, i'm just intrigued!

Yeah really like the look mate, I agree with the original wheels to.  It's something I want to do, but I've got to sort out my not starting from hot issue first!!  After sorting this problem it will leave me on a budget, so may well look into the same kit.

Nice one mate

I lowered an Ibiza today. £100 cash in hand, took me 3hrs. If only I could do that twice a day, 5 days a week!

Looks spot on mate, and is exactly the same colour as mine so it has made my mind up for me! Did you do it yourself? Was it hard to do? And as the others said - is the ride much more harsh or the handling much better?

Hi

Did it with a mate he owns his own garage, used his tools and airline, he really just guided me have to say was pretty easy  :smiley:

Ride is firm but not choppy, think that's down to fitting the new dampers and not just springs.

I am really pleased with the result  :smug:

Looks good Mate....the only advise I can give is try to find a deep front splitter for it. Makes it look even better. Mine is also lowered 60/40 and gives a good ride. I have 16 inch wheels on mine.

looks good. I like the look of the long beach alloys on it. Am going to be getting mine powder coated this year as previous owners have had some fun with kerbs...  :angry:
Wouldn't be fun if it was easy, but does it have to be this much fun?
