wots the point in putting gti shocks and springs on it,

it costs alot to get ur suspension changed so u mite aswell lower it while u are there with some descent suspension,
otherwise ur paying all that money to have crappy mk3 gti suspension wich everyone hates and changes for coilovers

i thought she meant after market suspension from a mk2 onto her mk3, if the suspension is standard mk2 stuff then id partly agree.
I say partly because her mate probably doesnt want much for it if its standard gear(or shouldnt do), so it would be cheaper than spending 200-300 quid on a full kit and getting that fitted aswell.

What do people think of these?

I think they are cool as hell!

Are the tyres that come with it low profile though?

[Wayne]

Very nice but you would need 205/50/15's and yes they are low profile

[Shady Pioneer]

Why would I need 205s?

[nelds]

are you going for the stretch look with 195's..........................they'll only be budget tyres but as long as the speed rating is correct you should be ok.

[Shady Pioneer]

I have no idea what the stretch look means lol! And also I'd upgrade to the Toyo tyres because it's only an extra £25, Toyos would be better than budget wouldn't they?
