Lowering my GTI - How low should I go?

[bored_Welsh_lad]

Drop it all the way and see how you like it, work your way back up until you find a height you are happy with.. noone can tell you how "low" to go...

[Khare]

I don't know how much is dropped by, but if you want best handling then level out the wishbones which is what I have done.






And it's practical too, scrapes on the odd bump or two but nothing serious

The Floor. Hertford isn't THAT bad
Pretty bad but i manage it daily

Ive said it before and I'll say it again - 40mm is the best lowering amount.

I think I might have to agree here mate. Aesthetically it's a NO but for actual drivabilty it's a massive YES and this is what wins for me.

As Khare said. Lowered mine til the splitter just touched the floor but it was horrible round bends.

Level them out and it handles well.

Go this low:



I think it's around 60mm, I'm running Weitec Ultra GT shocks and springs, very good setup! I personally wouldnt go any lower than that - wheels up in the arch look sh*t and it handles like sh*t too

Ive just brought the Weitec ultra GT kit for mine as it goes after reading lots of decent reviews and getting it at an absolute bargain price.

Care to share where from??

eBay - I managed to negotiate a full and unfitted kit still in it's original packaging for £100. The rrp on them is £340! Im just waiting till payday now so that i can buy a complete bush kit to install at the same time.
