Best lowering springs?
« on: May 08, 2012, 02:49:33 pm »
I have a golf 2.0 tdi just wondered what people would recommend as the best lowering springs to get? Any pics of how they sit with gti wheels on would be great too. Thanks Adam

Jumping on the thread now, i've seen some people stating they have 35mm H+R springs but the lowest i've seen for the GTI is 30mm,

I'm i missing something?  :stupid:
