Which Springs 1.9 TDI

(1/3) > >>

NickU:
Hey all

Just put some Scirocco 18" Turbine on my Tdi
235/40/18 tyres

How much drop can I get away with & which springs are going to give me the best drop for the ££ without rubbing or scraping on bumps but still look alright ?

Any info appreciated

dansmith180:
What width and offset are the wheels? 235 tyres are a touch wide and could rub if you go too low. I imagine about a 25 - 30mm drop should be a good balance.

NickU:
Hi Dan genuine scirocco interlagos alloys
I think they are 8J with 41 offset, does this help?

Shoduchi:
If you want to go very low you'll need to roll your front fender at least. From what a knowledged friend told me we can go with 8J to ET45 tops, with less it will rub, specially with 235 tyres and not the usual 225. :wink:

dansmith180:
Yeh with 235's on them if you go too low you'll get scrubbing. I think anything around 25mm should be OK, I don't know much about springs since I only get coilovers because I like the flexibility. But I hear good stuff about Eibach.
