Lowering the mk4
« on: 15 February 2008, 11:14 »
Ok so got me self some new wheels other week look nice. But it needs to be lowered really looks a tad high.

So how much is it to lower it? Any links to sites for parts would be great.

Thanks all.

Iv had mine done by about 40mm. Doesnt seem to scuff anywhere.

also, if you want to go lower than 40mm you sometimes need to to change the front ARB as it will scuff on the drive shafts.

Wish i could remember the name of the place i got mine. The number is 02086810208.

you could fit just the lowering springs but you'll only be forking out for new shocks later on, plus the ride won't be great as the springs aren't properly matched to the shocks and could cause premature wear on both items  :sad:

modding a Golf ain't cheap lol
