Neither do i! Ive done the whole coilover thing!  :mad: I Dont actually drive it much lower then a standard Gti probably only lower it around 40mm it looks terrible with the 17s on when its rolling Can get it nice and low on the rear but if i was to run it to match on the front id get no lock on the wheels  :congrats:

Few little updates......

Built another rear up and got another front built back up on saturday, Just need to build one more front up and give my tyres a good scrub before fitting them as there coverd in dust from storage.




Got it serviced and retaxed it  :confused: Also my mate works at VW and she checked if it had ever been in for the ignition coil recal - it hadnt so got all 4 coils replace F.O.C which i thought was good as 2 of the ones they took out were genuine ones! Whilst it was in i also had my washer jet replaced as this had started spraying funny.

I Replaced my pollen filter to.



And ive finally managed to get hold of a set of GT Foglight grills for my new bumper just need to find a cheap enough replacement centre grill then it will be going into the body shop for a few dents removed obviously the bumper fit and painted etc.



Also test fitted........kinda  :ashamed: a wheel lol
