ooo and also, i heard if goin for lowering springs, it can damage your shocks?

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?

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!
