I had 30mm on 17 wheels. This was not mega low but looked fin IMO.

Or just get some cheaper coilovers and then lower it however much you want.

I had H&R springs on mine mate, just changed to Coilies lastweek, when i was changing them one of my old shocks was f**ed! I had spring on for a year and a half i think.

Dont get cheap coilovers though mate, save up for better ones

correct cheap coilovers are poo my ta technics were on for a year and were goosed the gti is too heavy and powerfull for cheap coil overs got weitec now which are kw just not stainless steel only difference to variant 1s ! and they are mint handles on rails now!

lol cheers for the advice, i heard weitec coilovers are ace. might have to invest in some.

Chris was there a massive difference in ride comfort?

[whitegtipolo]

yup the ride comfort of the weitecs is 10 times better than the ta technics and corners 10 times better and its lower than it was b4! i havent been this happy with a purchase since my remap!
