anyone got the h and r 50mm supersport springs I think they call them?
I'm thinking of fitting them but run 15mm spacers on front with pescaras and worried they might have too much poke for a 50mm drop.
or are the 30mm springs plenty low enough?
pics of your gti on h and r springs? :D

I think at 50mm drop and 15mm spacer you'll need something doing to the arches
I was on 30mm H&R and 12mm spacer and that was on the cusp IMO

thanks mate (Y) play it safe with the 30mm then :)

I'm on 30mm H&R and BBS VZ which are 8 wide and et44, so within a millimetre of what a Pescara spaced 12mm would be, and to my eye there's loads of room. Never rubs, would be really surprised if it did.
Another 20mm lower though... hmmmm. That would probably be at least on the cusp!

Especially with 15mm spacers.

don't make me gamble on the 50mm! haha

You're probably ok on the rear, but at the front is where it'll be close.
Bit of gentle arch rolling..?

think rolled arches look a mess tbh even when done properly.
ill just stick with 30mm :)
