hi everyone, am going to lower my car at the weekend and i'm just looking into how low i should go,

looking at getting it 50mm, has anyone got any pictures of this, i would like to see how it looks?

i have 15's on low low tires, will my car look low if i only drop it 50 mm

cheers

i cant wait to lower mine now. although not looking forward to doing it, my friends golf took ages to do.

how long did it take your motors to settle down, or did they look low after you fitted them

i finally got round to lowering in on friday, only 40mm at the more. saving for coilovers next year.

still got some spring caps to put on which will drop it another 10mm, so its low-sih at the mo.

the chavs down my way were loving it on saturday night, ...not sure if i should be proud of that lol

how do all you lot put photos straight into the post??

on upgraded shocks or just standard 1s? hows the ride quality?

yeah just on the old shocks, so fingers crossed its ok. i heard dropping 40mm was ok.

the ride is quite nice, although pot hole are not. its a bit bouncy but i quite like that. its a lot beta than my friends golf mk3 which he dropped 60mm.

i think it looks quite gd, its made my wheels fit the wheel arches, but i still want it lower, but dont we all.

i'll try that link later cheers
