Chop the springs. Good first choice. Whilst your at it, do the brake lines too.

I thought I'd leave this, because it's a new user on here, but as the rest have jumped in.....

Chopping springs = bad and MOT fail.  Just don't do it.

Lowering springs really don't cost all that much.  You should probably spend nearly as much as the springs getting the front aligned after lowering it however it's going to happen.

Bonnet bra?  Why?  What an odd thing to fit to it.

Why do you want to fit a front splitter?  Isn't there one on there already?

Maybe drive it for a while, unless you're some sort of lifestyle gimp, in which case, good luck with these boys.  :grin:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Chop the springs  :shocked:

Would not bother with coilovers, fit a good quality spring and shock kit.

I'd sell it to someone who's not gunna butcher it. If u want to go stupid low then get coilovers, if you want sensible get springs and dampers. Is it a gti? I may have read but have forgotton
