mk3 lowering.....

[willynwilson]

Im looking to slam my mk3 but there seems to be some confusion with how far certain springs drop it, people are Photoshopping but some people are saying that it wont drop that far and people are saying this and that e.t.c

so if possible i would like pictures of a mk3 preferably non rs with....

1. 35mm drop
2.45mm drop
3. and some on coilovers.

Can you also please state what is on the car?!

Sorry to be fussy guys! just dont want to part with some money and the car still look like a tractor!

How can you tell how low your car is if your just adjusting your coils on your coilovers

I got 30mm coming for mine.

In the MK3 thread the colour coded red jobby is at 45 and does look good

Yeah that's what i ordered, those exact springs, wont be here until next friday though... my wheels are 17"s low profile though will it still look as low as the red one does on 16"s? im not really sure, will the arches appear more filled because the wheels bigger or what? i know it will be higher off the ground than the red one... but what diff does tire size make to the lowering of it?

Well obv if its bigger it fils the arch more?

With my 16's and 45 profile tyres im not sure how obvious my lowering is going to be lol.
