How low?
« on: 22 May 2006, 15:25 »
Hi i'm new to the VW scene and this forum and could do with some advice. Ive just got a mk 4, 2 litre GTI and recently put some 18" RS 4's on it. I'm wanting to lower it but not sure how low I can go before it starts getting complicated. I was told about 40mm on eibach springs would do the job? Any ideas?

Mine was dropped about 70mm and I never had a prob, ARB would rub now and again on full right hand lock :undecided:.  There are different types of ARB's and driveshafts tho
