All GTis look better lowered! I want to do mine but have to wait to change insurers (its an oft-repeated statement from me you'll find - roll on September). I think teh plan for coilies might be binned in favour of Eibach Sportlines, as I don't need the adjustment, i want to keep a comfortable-ish ride and I don't want to be über-low, as I regularly have to face the multi-storey car park and a number of harsh speed bumps around here!

A custom cat-back 'zorst is on the cards one day when the OEm one falls off and I might change the stock BBS rims one day (shock horror!) :)

I started off with 40mm springs but it wasn't low enough. so i tryed 60mm springs for a mark 4, they dont fit but i re heated the springs and made them fit.. it looks low in the pic i have.

prices for the 40mm which is best to get are about £80 upwards.. just bepends what make of spring you get... x

Yeh i told my insurance but they didnt mind, which is good..

the best thing to do is to get coil overs, more money but worth it..

by any chance were you in aberdeen the other night think it was sunday??
