I have heard jom are rather firm and fk ak's (similar price) are a bit softer.. I'm sure with the mk4 you can have driveshaft rubbing issues below 40-50mm lower?

Yup and adjustable droplinks will not cure it.

Get an TT or R32 arb which goes under the driveshaft
cheers m8, just wanted to no what r32 arb does???

Is slightly thicker than standard, helps handling when cornering hard

goes under the driveshaft instead of looping over like the std one does so doesnt rub however low you go
ok thanks just found some r32 rear 1s they ok??
