Bugger...I've just had by car slammed 60/40, but the front end scrubs and the spoiler is too low to the ground for speed humps !!!!!!!!!!! Looks pretty good though. ATS Cups are next to be put on.
Had to buy -40 springs and get them fitted !! I'm deffo scrubbin' with my dubbin'.... :rolleyes: :sad:

Had a similar problem myself but the other way round.. Dropped mine with Eibach springs and the rear sits lower than the front lol..

The drop looks good on yours though.. Have put lowering springs on using original dampers or have you uprated the whole lot?

Yeah, have a feeling the rear dropping more than the front could be related to the dampers. But those were replaced about a year ago by the previous owner via a VW dealership. So i'm a little stumped as to why the front sits so high! Have got hold of some lowering caps to bring down another 10-15mm just have to get round to fitting them.. But in the not so distant future I want to get round to changing the shocks with some decent ones.. that is when funds allow it  :cry:

yeah, strange the rear sits so low ? :huh:
Are the deffo the same size springs ? Have the rears got cup adjusters on ?
My 60mm drop is more like a bloody 80mm drop ! Got it booked in at 2pm to put the 40mm on ! Another £80 down the shoot.....!
