I really dont understand the fascination with dropping a car this low, air bag suspension etc. It looks stupid too - a good MK6 Golf GTi ruined IMO.

Each to their own though.

We developed a new kit for the mk 5 which will go lower than my original kit i had 2 sets sent over but as my car isn't ready this car got the first of some uber low loving.

I appreciate some ofyou guys wouldn't like you bunch of track whores ha ha it's cool. It's no where ear finished yet though new rims interior audio and some paint on the agender next.

I agree slightly with the track comment but it doesn't mean the car won't handle it handles alot better than factory does but you get to drop it on its arse raise it for speed bumps and just generally hassle free driving and looking cool (well in my eyes anyway ha ha)

I just wanted to chuck the thread up really as we had the chance as far as im aware to do the first mk 6 in the uk on air and as far as im aware we have just pimped the guys over on vortex to it as well lol.

The guy doesn't need the car for the track as well when he smoking around in a brand new rs6 lol.

This car will be very specail when finished!

Need 2 get my self into gear lol..
Title: Re: How we drop a mk 6
Post by: Garth on March 26, 2010, 08:52:28 am: I must be getting old. I just don't get the ultra low look, it just looks broken to me, plus it'll be mega impractical and totally uncomfortable.

I reckon the bottom of the arch should sit level with the top of the tyre, no gap and no overlap for me.

But then, I am on the wrong side of 30 (only just!) so you crazy kids can do it if you like it :grin:

you can set the car up as high or as low as you like just push the button and adjust
Title: Re: How we drop a mk 6
Post by: Garth on March 26, 2010, 09:39:20 am: Very true, however my confusion doesn't lie with air-ride, it is the Ultra low look I don't understand. By all means, fit bags, but I don't think a car sitting with it's sump on the tarmac looks good. Might be just me though....

Don't quote me on this as i know very little about this stuff but did they bring the mk 6 gti out first with 5 doors the the 3 doors?

I have no idea but i don't know if i am going crazy or what but i am totally feeling a more door car at the minute probably becasue i'm into my fancy door builds and stuff and could totally rock a 5 door. :rolleye: :rolleye:

plush..dude, you know i'm a fan..

but..

works soooo much better on a 3dr imho, makes me wonder why he bought a 5dr to do it to?

i mean it cant be for practicality purposes surely? extra doors mean nothing considering the boots gunna be full of audio?

Don't quote me on this as i know very little about this stuff but did they bring the mk 6 gti out first with 5 doors the the 3 doors?

I have no idea but i don't know if i am going crazy or what but i am totally feeling a more door car at the minute probably becasue i'm into my fancy door builds and stuff and could totally rock a 5 door. :rolleye: :rolleye:

you know 5 doors rule :grin:
