I think the GTI/ED30 R32 look a little lower due to the side skirts and deeper rear valance.

Post by: Andy on March 22, 2011, 08:36:41 pm: My girl friend bought me the car as a Xmas pressi and she spec the car with all the latest up grades available at the time,one of which was the sports suspension that was lower than standard

Post by: apollo13 on March 22, 2011, 08:39:02 pm: Thats a new one on me mate.

I thought the GTTDI already had the sports suspention as standard and the upgrade was just for standard cars ie 1.9 tdi et ect

I guess not.
