Lowering guide!?
« on: June 04, 2010, 03:11:44 pm »

Afternoon all....

Have done a search but couldnt find anything, dont suppose anyone has a  guide on how
to swap the springs over on a GTI?

Was going to get the garage to do it but i'm an impatient b&stard!

Do you have a spring compressor?
Only 250.1bhp - but with that noise, who cares?
