Ride height

Just been wondering what the standard ride height is on the mk4 gti cos Ive been finding it difficult to get my jack underneath. I used to have a mk3 and the standard height on that was alot higher. Perhaps my mk4 has been lowered??

Yeah deffo must be lowered! If you struggle, just use the widow maker to raise the car up a bit, then put the trolley jack in to take over.

The trolley jack may have an attachment piece fitted to the contact point like mine does. Take this off (just slots in) and should go under then.

I just looked at your nice mk4 in your build thread. Its the front I am concerned with and not the back. (yes I know you were referring to the front
) but mine looks lower at front than yours in the first pics.If you see what i mean.
