GUYS FFS THE MK3 IS THE PINNACLE OF ENGINEERING!

It needs every tiny bit of traction for it's million horsepower and GTR-embarrassing handling!

You talk as if it's an old heap on which the knackered rear beam bushes will probably take out any extra "grip" the springs will give.

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.

You obviously aint been in a 8v gti. Enough torque to stop the earth rotating.   :grin:

Ahh, didnt spot you were from Sweden. I see now.

Not sure 20mm on a gti is going to help at all though. The difference will be negligible when thinking about it from a beating the snow perspective.
It's a mk2. Fill it, drive it, enjoy it.  :smiley:
