If your wanting to go that low I'd put the top plate back on then ditch the helpers and you could ditch the one of the lock rings if your winding all the way down,
You may be laying down at this point then your on to chassis notching

H&R do a shortened tube coilover that's meant for mega lows

Hope that helped

Everyone that laughs and mocks someone for wanting deck there car and branding them scene queens it's all a matter of taste!

Matter of taste?
If it involves notching the chassis leg, I'd say it was a matter of safety...and in my view, I'd take them off the road and crush them...along with any cars with stupid sticking out wheels, tyres that scrub or excessive camber purely to make stupid wheels fit properly.

Lower it by all means...but keep it legal and safe.
Idiots who take liberties have no place sharing the roads with those who drive legal cars.

[Jonnysherco]

Again that's your opinion and taste!

As long as you know what your doing and do it correctly
there's nothing with notching a chassis to create driveshaft clearance
Legal and Safe!

Now I've not went to this extent on my car,
However I do have respect for the quality of workmanship
I'm some of the show cars being produced.

What's your view on Air?

'Designed' even for ultra lows.

What's your view on Air?

I followed a B6 Passat on air out of Santa Pod Spring Fest a couple of years back in my standard Mk2. He'd raised his up to a driveable height when he got to the road, but I've never seen anything like it. Even at 40mph the thing was wallowing all over the place. It looked totally undriveable.

Air is supposed to give the best of both worlds, sat on the cills at a show, and enough ground clearance to not hit cats eyes on the road, but having seen it in action, it goes to show that there is way too much compromise whichever way you decide to go low.

I also think that whilst low can look good on a show ground next to other like cars, but for the other 95% of the time when it's being a car out on the road, it looks broken.

Ok here is my MKVI on Bilstein B16 PSS10's probably not low enough for the ED38arazzi but I want to get over the six speed bumps on my road and be able to go around a racetrack and not beach it on the rumble strips. It was fully geo'd after having this lot fitted.



Pic of the car once settled....it still has around 20mm left on the threads front and rear to go lower, but  I'm as low as I can be to get off my road!

Took My helpers out lastnight, still got about another inch the front can go down!
But untill i get my 3sdms on this is the ride hight untill end of feb, pretty happy with at the moment for now
