Mk6 Static Low...

[Fiishbmx]

Ok, i put my FK highsports on my MK6 GTI this weekend, They are wound all the way down, and have taken out the spacer at the top that holds the spring onto the top mount, but im just not happy with them, it isnt hardly even low in my eyes?? i run these coilys on my mk5 golf, they still have an inch to go down on the mk5 and the thing literally cant go any lower?
i think i am going to be having to rip the helpers out too!
Anyone running coilovers?
What you running?
How low are you?
Photos would be helpfull??

cheers steve x

Don't think you will get much advice on here regarding the slammed look, maybe better on edition38 for more advice on that one bud,
I wouldn't advise taking the helper spring out, that's there to keep tension on the springs isn't it ?
Ie if you go over a brow of an hill for instance and the springs can come out of there cups ?

You are missing the point Neil...such 'slammed' cars with masses of 'poke', 'tuck', 'stretch' and other such utterly pointless a potentially dangerous scene-queen crap, are never driven fast enough for the springs to come out over a brow of a hill, for fear of the sump being ripped off upon landing.

I like to drive my GTI and get down my road so it's bilstein b16 ps10s not on the lowest setting, more A38 than Edition 38

No air ride?
Or cheap coilies on the lowest setting?
Tut tut...

Or rather, bravo!

Please don't take it personally - it wasn't meant to be personal!

The Mk5/Mk6 Golf GTI is such a good car to drive standard that VW got it pretty right.
It can be improved - most of us have improved our cars in some way.
But dumping it in the weeds on coilovers will ruin a perfectly good car and risk the sump...neither I see at particularly sensible!

It's your car...but you can expect a healthy dose of being laughed at if it all goes a bit Pete Tong.
