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.

Can Totally Take A bit of a laugh im all for a laugh, just seemed a wee little bit too much that was all haha!

Wont Touch the sump, as the sump is sat so high up, only thing you can scrape is subframe, as i found out  in the mk5

Oh well that's alright then...because subframes are meant to be scraped, aren't they?

a few piccies from my rocco

Exhibit A - Spare subframe with VWR mount and scrapes, kept it as found out they are over £250 from a dealer



Exhibit B - Some nice damage to the sump due to rogue oil





In reality on the roc the car caught on the front jacking points and didn't look that low

Fiishbmx, no need be annoyed with me  , but I have to comment by saying I've never understood why anyone wants to chop around an already excellent car by adding pointless mods [imo of course] It won't look better [again imo] and won't drive as well [probably a fact] It seems to me that a lot of people mod their cars just because they can and not because it makes the car better in any way. I'm taking into account that you are obviously a lot younger than me and as such will have a different idea of what looks and/or is good btw.

Haha, Na i totally understand man, and yes it is all each to your own opinion n all that, personally i just love the look of a real low car, im a show whore to haha!
and half the reason is also that soo many people have said "you cant make a mk6 really low being static you need bags'
so there for i will prove them wrong! haha

That GTI looks tragic.
If that's what people are doing to Mk6 GTIs, its time to buy something else

Agreed.  That is simply shocking

I am running coillies but hate the slammed look, I fitted them to use them properly ie get the proper set up for track use,
I only posted my reply to say that there is a set up for the scene queens without using bags,
