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 fuel tank on mk3 gti Icon_geek, any stiff hatchback will give you lift off oversteer

i would rather have overstreer then understreer, its easyier to handle. fuel tank on mk3 gti Icon_rolleyes

yourl be fine mate i had my old mk3 all the way down on the back without the helper springs and that didnt hit the petrol tank. the bottom arms and exhaust over (near the middle over the cat) sit the lowest on mk3s so you going to ground out before you hit the tank. fuel tank on mk3 gti 51732
