mines down -85mm and the front catches a lot, exhaust in the centre if you go over high speed bumps, but doesnt really matter how many passengers cos its rock hard, think i need to adjust it though cos its a bit skippy round corners, gotta admit the best thing about the golf is the handling  :cool: only thing being that low is the extra stress on wheel bearings etc

defo wouldnt use standard struts on 80mm springs you'll need to get a full kit

so if i wanted to lower my car say 40mm or 60mm what's the best way of going about this. Budget will be around 300 pound.

Yeh Harry, fitting my coilovers, some lovely FK Konigs, cant wait! Thats if I have any time to spare from working in the parents garden!!

Shocks and springs on there atm, think its got boge turbo shocks on, its pretty decent really, but the springs aren't as good as the ones I had on my last car, doesnt go round corners quite so well!! Looks quite good tho, reckon its around a 50mm drop, maybe a bit more atm.
