« on: 29 November 2010, 15:20 »
Anyone know what the clearence between the arch and wheel is on a 1.8T GTi, as I cannot find one nearby to measure up and I want to put mine approximetly back to stock for selling in new year?

More money and hassle than its worth, rather just raise it for sale, otherwise i got to book it into a garage, money vs raising it for resale doesnt seem cost effective by much etc...

Got it on stilts, not sure if its right height, but its lower than my neighbors 1.6 by a tad.

With the coilovers on roughly standard height the car feels just right, firm handling yet still comfy... why didnt VW do this as stock, feck the standard suspension I quite like this setup!
