ive lowered my golf mk3 110mm on the front, only 80mm ish on the back, i am A bit concerned abouth the fuel tank on it tho as it is slung right underneath the back and could be at risk of splitting open if it goes any lower, any mods or advice welcome!

there k&w konigsports if i remember correctly, front is running 110mm back is currentlly 80mm ish (about 14 threads remaining) so my golf looks like it is constantly under heavy breaking!

it wont go 150mm, no way in hell dont matter what coilies, my brothers girlfriends golf is 120mm and it scrapes everywhere, your sump and sill will be under ground at 150mm

lol i just want a level low ride, as with all due respects being a front wheel drive and all the attributes to go with it, trust me when pushed to the limits it oversteers rather than understeers! the lowering of the rear may compensate and balance the scales back to usual understeer i hope!! i do stress my definition of pushing to the limits is taking 3rd exit roundabouts at 60mph and hoping and preying my bottle gives before the car does!!!

To get that oversteer, id guess your pussing out half way through the turn Razz

As for having 14threads left and getting another 40mm down, 1mm on the thread doesnt mean 1mm on ride height m8.

is that why theres a vid on facebook of your car close to a pole facing the wrong way with skidmarks on the road. You need to drive a RWD car then you will find out what limits really are lol. The only way a FWD car will oversteer is when you lift off hence lift off oversteer as your front wheels are no longer pulling you along, as matty said your pussying out

, any stiff hatchback will give you lift off oversteer
