[cooki]

As above realy guys need some help on this 1.
Car needs lowering as im on 18"s with standed gti suspension at the moment lol. (tractor)
Whats the lowest i can go with out changing the ARB.
Not looking for a super low coilover kit just want a shocks and spring set up but.cant realy be bothered doin the ARB.

Around a 40mm drop is the lowest you can go.

What mm drop do u think youve got it at mate??are you on 18"s aswell??

[dom]

Rears are all the way down with adjusters still in & fronts are lowered to match, about 50-55mm I reckon. And yeah they're 18s

[SI74]

you should be able to have a 40mm drop with no problems.

Mines on Jom sports kit think its about 40mm no issues,mk4s are a complete arse to lower when you wanna get them really low .

[Granta Gti]

Dom with lowering do you get the exhaust banging on the rear beam?

[cooki]

Right brilliant guys around 40mm tops then so thats ok.

Next question is are all golf shocks the same??would a lowering kit from say a 1.4/1.6 fit my gti turbo??
Obviously the springs on a standed gti are lower but im wondering about a hole lowering kit???
