How low is too low.?

[tweed]

Cheers man. Likewise!

You are both spot on. 
I no exactly what you mean.
I bought mine totally standered but very clean.
And have spent every free second cleaning it. (actuly obsessively cleaning it)
Saving up for the mods I want and like. And even tho it has fake splits on they are spotless and gleaming. As is the car. And that's what makes you feel good everytime you walk out of a petrol station back to your car and you think I made that. And you see other people having a good old look. Gota love petrol station light

Yeah man like yours too. It don't matter if you got fakes. Dude you got 5 kids to feed, I think you have done bloody well to get yours the way it is.

Ah cheers fella. U already no I think yours is better lol. Oooh can you feel the man love going on 
But it is true it's all about making the most of what you have. It's not about how many mods you have. It's about the quality of the work you do on then ones you do have.

I'm lucky if I have £20 to my name at the end of every week but you can still make a nice car on a tight budget.

I couldn't give a f**k what anyone thinks TBH

Its one of the mintiest MK3's around.. I know it is because iv looked are at all the MK3's iv seen at the shows. iv looked hard at attention to detail...

and mine gets driven everyday....  it aint no trailer queen and it aint locked away so nobody else can appreciate it. it makes me smile on those days i feel sh!tty.. so any haters can go get fooked for all i care


In a nutshell.. we are all different and to some of us, having a car at standard height is as bad to us as what you feel about how low our cars are

Respect yours is a nice car but on the other hand yours is a case in point when you look at the beating the sump takes, to me it is too low, yes it is used every day but is it practical

No its not...and not legal if parts of his car not designed to have contact with the road are actually having contact with the road 

That said...its sweet as

I have to admit it is not practical. If I said otherwise it would be a lie.

I never had issues at this height with the old 2.slow engine but as we all know, the S3 engine is much taller and does cause issues. If I was to raise it to make the issue go away, to make it worthwhile I'd have to go much higher (not just a few turns of the coils) and that's not something I want to do

I have other options if this don't work tho. And iv only hit the floor 4 times since the engines been in. I kind of know what roads I have to be carefull on.

Deffo not practical tho

[thai-wronghorse]

Surely any amount raised, even 5/10 mm is gonna help and barely going to notice on the ride height?

[F17BAD]

Well yea it all counts but it would still
Catch even at that height. It is only on very extreme bumps in te road it has ever been a issue. Hence why it would still catch even if raised 10 mm

[Jack3559]

Why not a change of wheel/tire profile instead then?

It would look the nuts on some 17" TH2s.



That, on a 35 or even a 40 would give you scope to go higher without looking a numpty with arch gap issues.
