Shorter rear springs
« on: April 26, 2015, 03:11:03 pm »
Hey guys!
I'm looking for shorter rear springs so i can get the a$$ down more, as i already removed the rear adjuster ( using kw v1 )
what spring load would be recommended to use and lenght of spring? looking to use BC racing springs as well. is 16kg/mm good enough to stiff the rear up?

Not sure about springs but if you haven't already fit a rear anti roll bar, tames the rear end massively on the mk5. Plus some polybushes for good measure and it'll handle like a dream.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

got the oem rear arb. changed the rear controlarm inner  bushes for new oem and they were a bit loose and new camber bolts, washers aswell. but i need to get the rear a little bit more as it's now like face down, ass up  :ashamed:
