New mk 4 - he needs to go low!
« on: 15 April 2012, 09:57 »
Hey guys,
    I was on the hunt for a mk3 but have ended up buying a mk4 1.6 x plate for a grand......... looks v clean and could refuse!

Anyhow , im thinking of lowering him ...... so what would you guys recomend ? coil overs/ springs etc ? And also whats the best value for money? Dont want it to be slammed as a daily driver.
 :evil:

Just after ideas really...............

.............. cheers

Eibach pro springs - I've got some on eBay at the moment as I've got coilovers!
They sit well on the golf and are a sensible drop!  :smiley:

First thing to do is ask the insurance if you can and if so how much more it's going to cost!!
