How low should i go ???
Now, how low can you go without having to have biceps like the hulk to steer it?
I had a mk1 cabriolet that was in the seeds on 15's and remember it was a knightmare parking etc…..
so , im looking for a noticable drop but without having a workout every time i drive it !
Your advice please

-40mm will still be noticeable (yours should look 20mm lower than a standard GTI with that drop) but will be more practical all round, if you're not bothered about looking 'slammed'.

im gonna drop it 60mm and use my 14x8 wheels and see how i get on. If its too heavy then i'll sell the wheels and get more narrow ones i guess. I know its not a big drop but due to all the problems i had in the past with an 80mm drop its kinda put me off slammin' it , cv joints / drive shafts etc etc etc…………
I will post some pics up when done

I've never had an issue parking, just make sure your tracking and camber is set up right!!

mines been as low as it can go, its an auto too so the fronts heavier cos of the box, it couldnt go any lower cos the drive shaft was knockingon the chassis leg - didnt feel any heavier at all, for soem reason cabbies are heavier steering than tintops..
