How low can you go ...

[tri]

I'v been looking at my car and its too high. but the question is how low can you go without having any problems with speedbumps i don't go over lots but there are someplaces i go with them so don't want it to be a problem getting there. Was thinking Air bags so i could keep it low then pop it up for the speed bumps but too rich for me right now

So in short how low before i hit the bumps?

about 50-60mm.

so thats 60 to the gti or 40 to the gti as its already lower (just making sure) i'm sorry if i'm being dence

Well my old white one was on a 60mm drop from standard on a 16v, it only caught if i went over a speed bump too fast. So just slow down to about 10-15mph and you will be fine.

Mine had big bumpers and a deep chin spoiler on it too.

ahh cool thanks for that was thinking 40 so might just go to 50 play it safe but still nice looking and do you not remember being told to take them at that seep anyways

I got an audi now, big old thing, can take speed bumps at any speed, usually it's about 30-40.

my last mk2 was lowered about 100mm on 15s with 50 profile tyres with no archwork small bumpers with a 16v deep chin spoiler and didnt catch on many speed bumps.

someplaces are also keener on their bumps, ones in york are quite low-ish, altho there are 3 that are like moutains. but some places e.g hull haven't twigged that you can drive betweeen most of them

i went 30mm at first but it didnt look right, gone 60mm now and i think i sits sweet as!
