How low is this??

[waterpumper]

Can anyone tell from these pics how much lower our 8v GTI has been lowered by?? Got a damaged rear spring and a leaky shock (pot holes!  ) so have decided to replace with a new lowered kit its just previous owner didn't know how much it was lowered by   on 205  15s. stock wheels.

Iam thinking 60mm.    All the info I can find on shock is PI silver logo sticker and 69077   and  G070605.  muat be old model no.s as they are not on the PI site.

We like the ride height, What do u slammed golf owners reckon. pics taken at wheel level. anyone got pics of their golfs lowered 60mm on stock 15s?






cheers

Thanks So you reckon its 35mm as that is all thats available for this model/year in the PI brand range  (35mm or 60mm).

Anyone got pics of 35mm drop ?

would a 60mm drop cause any tyre rub or other probs ?

cheers fellas

i uploaded some pics of mine the other day at the top of the forum headings , & thats 35/40 & on 16` alloys & its more than low enough especially with a splitter fitted... looks good & no tyre rub

60mm drop is a lot lower, for a everyday car 35/40mm is fine.

This pic is 40mm all round, yours looks lower on the back than mine

overall ride height looks the same though and I have skirts fitted making it look lower, so yours may be lower all round?

still think it's 60/40
