Title: daft question
Post by: kylelannerz on February 23, 2014, 12:17:10 pm

This might sound a daft question but its really beginning to bug me, I have lowered the car on 35mm kw springs and shocks its nice sitting on the front just over the tyre
and on the rear slightly higher I don't  know if its me being really picky ?? I have a staggered set up 8 front 9s on the rear wearing 225/40/18 and course a little stretch.
I am thinking this is due to the rear tyre loosing its profile due to a wider wheel on the rear??

Would anyone agree from what I am saying?

thanks kyle

It's just the way the mk5 sits. Only way to get the rear down is coilovers

You can get a decent set of budget coilivers of eBay for £200

Either jom or fk's, they both have good reviews
