Title: How low? Picture link heavy please!!
Post by: timmyed30 on January 24, 2012, 08:48:41 pm

How low should I go!! Ed30 3dr dsg!!
Simple I just want to hear what you've got to say I have resarched but thought a picture link heavy post would be best. I was going to go 35/50 or is that to low I down want to go so low I hit humps and all sorts but 20/35 doesn't sound that low!
I also am looking for good handling!!!

ON SPRINGS SORRY!


Also should I change brake fluid!!! 50k

20mm works for me, just right for my tastes and the roads round rural Cheshire  :happy2:

And yes, get the fluid changed, Motul RBF600 is a good choice  :happy2:

I've got 35mm H&R springs. Wheels sit nicely in the arches and it rides very well. Google: mk5 golf gti slammed H&R. There's a thread on ukmkv's with some good pic's on.  :smiley:
