thanks fella, but I reckon I am going to go for the full set up.  :wink:

Anyone got a car running 40mm lower with 16inch wheels on I could see I picture of?  :smiley:

Unless your looking to slam it then a 40mm drop with a good quality kit is a much better bet.

You can go down -40mm on standard shocks without too many issues.

i had a 60mm drop shocks and springs on 17's on my gti and it wasnt low low but it handled very well depends what your after handling/performance or looks really

I am after a lower looking car that is not a harsh ride. I am thinking 40mm drop running 15" wheels, 7" wide.  :huh:

Going lower than -40mm on standard shocks will destroy them, really need shortened shocks.
