Help lowering the back of a mk4 more!
« on: 15 August 2012, 15:07 »
Hey guys, this has probably been asked so many times but i have found no solutions anywhere  how can you lower the rear more because i am down all the way with no adjusters on the back but the fuel tank side sits about 5-10mm lower and i want to lower the left side to match...

any ideas?

or is there a way of just lowering all the back as much as possible? ha



does anyone know any secret tips that lower the back of a mk4 more? has anyone ever tried trimming down the rear spring rubber mounts that sit at the top of the spring?

If the adjusters are out, your only real options are cutting springs (which I wouldn't want to be doing) or air :grin:
