looks good jay. thats exactly the kind of drop im after myself as the coilovers were far too low for me and were a hard ride, What suspension did u get ?

wicked! so did u use the standard vw shocks? i got bilstein shocks up front but original vw springs, u got 15" alloys? also is your ride stiff or still a bit bouncy like the standard springs?

Yeh just the standard vw shocks, it still feels like it absorbs the bumps ok.. little bit bumpy at times but roads are awful round my end .. wheels are 14s

Looks good Jay! I'm hoping do to exactly the same. Is it me or when going round sharp bends/roundabouts the car literally tips so much you have to hold on tight.

(With standard springs) is there a difference when dropping the car 40mm?

If I'm honest, I probably wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't have posted the before picture!

I'm with Tim. Really doesn't look any different. I'd have saved the money for a little longer and got coilies.

It does look noticeably lower from the before and after pics.

I do think you will want to go lower in a few months time but if your happy then thats all that matters.
Cars looks nice and clean. What else have you got planned?
