Someone I used to work with mentioned to me that due to the weight of the Golf's, lowering it on just springs will increase the risk of snapping the springs on original shocks under pressure

Is this the case or is he talking a load of rubbish?

if you buy quality products then i doubt such a thing would happen.

most springs are designed to work with your original dampers although i'm guessing your original dampers will be worked harder.

IMO its always best to change the springs and dampers at the same time

Ive just lowered my car the bodging way costs nothing and i can get an idea of how low i can go with my car till it starts catching anywhere. I cut a coil off the rear springs and a coil and a half on the front, already had people saying my car looks wicked lower! I would not suggest its a permenant fixture coz the springs are very loose when car is jacked up. but it still looks the dogs

WTF, why would you do this.

just to see how low i can actually go i will not have these springs on long as im gettin a full spring and damper kit. i didnt want to go out and buy a spring and damper kit only to find out its too low, as i said in my first post it ant a permenant fixive dropped it 50mm and it doesnt catch and also looks good at that hieght and that was my only aim. :embarassed:
