Anyone got similar stance pics at 30 and 40mm drops for comparison purposes?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Beddie can you tell me what brand yours it and where you bought them from?

I got mine a while back from 'VWR' aka http://www.racingline.com/, i believe they are actually 'AP' springs though so can be got a good bit cheaper from here: http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/ap-20mm-lowering-suspension-springsbr-golf-5-gt-14t-si-gti-20t-fsi-gt-20tdi-1204-p-5952.html

^ Any pics of it on a true flat bit of road Beddie? It sits particularly well for a 20mm drop.
Cheers  :happy2:

I think Paul's and Beddie's drops look bloody good for 20mm. Perhaps in reality it's more than that cause it appears to the naked eye to be a 35mm or so drop? :congrats:

Either way, tip top boys.

I must say, I am very impressed. Some people have advised me that a 20mm drop won't be noticed but that's not the case with yours and Pauls.

Who fitted them fella?  :smiley:
