lowering spring caps do they work??
« on: 23 March 2012, 23:04 »
got a mk4 anni and want to lower it some more on the front, be told they lowered 30mm and found these on ebay that will drop it an extra 10mm, so it would be 40mm which is as low as i can go without changing arb. any one used these are they ok? not bad money.

My Annie's supposobly lowered 30mm anyway so thought these would be alot cheaper than buyIng coilovers just for an extra 10mm lower.
