Looking to do this to mine, and wondered if anyone on here has a pic of it.

Cheers in advance

I'm in the same boat, deciding between a 40 and 60mm drop on 15's. To be honest I am just a bit wary of cheaper suspension kits, as to how long the shocks will last.

There are a few pics in the sticky of members cars at the top, but none at -60 on 15's if i remember correctly.

We need some side profile pics of lowered gti's to compare !

After already going through this before with another car, id really suggest going for coilovers

Springs are gonna be a right pain to fit (or cost a fair bit to get fitted), the last thing you want is to find out that you diddnt go low enough and have the expense of doing it all again

Has anyone bought one of the £295 coilover sets that were in the for sale section ?

Any good ?

Obviously they will never last as long as an expensive set, but what is the ride like ?
