You also need it by actually measuring how much lower the car is rather than believing the spring manufacturers.

Mine is on 40mm PI springs and it is as low RR Livi. I did have 60mm drop springs but the car was riding with the body resting on the anti-roll bar and the arch was lower than the wheel.

I like low cars because the handling is better, but lower it too much and it goes to pot.

Dunn i cant really believe that the front of that is dropped 120mm (unless you have big bumpstops added)

as i had exactly the same wheels and mine was lower than that and it was only dropped 100mm.

you coming to GTI intenational btw. and post pics of your car interiour had a little peak at your screen at the pod
