Anybody know the height of this 4

From the pics there seems to be a 15 to 20mm difference from the front to back?

If I use shocks and springs will the front still look different to the back?

I want them to look the same on each arch.

Only way is to get coil-overs to guarantee that

Do you think replacing the front and back top mounts first on my standard suspension might make the current standard suspension sit right on both front and back aches?

Then I would know if the drop would go right with the shocks and springs solution.

hmmm problems problems

I replaced the entire suspension on my old Golf and there was still a difference between the front and back

I replaced the top mounts, shocks and springs

If you can lighten your engine you might get it level

As i said before on the phone mate, the rear shocks are not as tall as the fronts, nor are the springs, the car should be level all round if you park on a flat surface, a fixed rate kit of say 40 mill shoulleave the car level all round but 40 mill down..

id say theirs some other issues if your car is not level, either that or your eyes playing tricks,

measure the bottom of the sill (to the ground - on level surface) just infront of the rear wheel and again just behind the front wheel. let me know the results

if you cant do this ill do it whn i see you

Not always, a lowering kit is designed to lower the car level if that make sense.

yeah the problem I have is that from my pics is that the front is 10-15mm lower than the back.

Am scared that if I pay xxxx for some shocks and spring I will be in the same postion, but only lower... Then am stuck with it.

Has anyone else had this issue? or had a drop that hasn't gone right on shocks and springs?

[F17BAD]

Mate how many time lol, if you junk the old suspension, the new kit will all be level, yours is obv foobard, when i got my mk3 the front passenger side was higher than the rest of the car (very very noticable)  after new kit was lobbed on all was level

get the kit, and the top mounts and all is well. then get the camber done and terry is your auntys brother

bring it down mate, im DJing tonight and sat night (all nighter) but im not having a messy one so ill be alive

[brown29]

Yeah, send me your new shocks and springs in exchange for my spoilovers!!! 

What coilovers are you running mate?

Whats the problems you are having with them?
