Lowering

Anyone know a good place in cambridge that drop a bora/mk4 for not too many pennies?

cheers.

your driveway?

hmm, my driveway is gravel and my knowledge is virgin.:(

i'd do it for you for a drink(small fee) if you got all the parts, can help you pick the parts if you want. Got all the tools needed and lowered plenty of cars for myself and friends. Would only take a couple of hours to do and your pretty darn close to me. Could show you what im doing along the way as well so you pick up on some stuff and learn

cheers dude, i'll let you know when i get the get springs etc sorted!

are you going for lowered springs on standard shocks or the spring and shock kit? I'll get my spring compressors back off lee as i think hes claimed them now lol.

i was going to go for the whole kit i think.

cool, best way, lowered springs on standard shocks suck.

for sure, i also think that one needs replacing anyway, 2 birds with 1 stone and all that!

Jamex coilovers £300 from midland vw

got them on the ibiza and they are very good, no complaints!

oooooo, i'll check the fundage next weekend!

ill do it for the cost of a grinding disk and a portion of chips lol

only kidding folks, chopped springs are dangerous and illegal

Pleased you said that mate

i know chopping springs is a touchy subject. each to their own though, and all depends on how mad you go.

The Tw4t who owned my vr before me chopped the springs on that

I never been in a car that handled as sh1t as that did

i jus got sum hi pro lowering springs. but im puttin gthem on a stock 03 gti, im not sure if its a dumb move or if im going to rub dropping it 1.5",,, ne input would be great.

Is it just the springs you have or a shock and spring kit? because putting lowering springs that low on standard shocks wont do them alot of good.

i had my 2001 bora on lowering springs and shocks 50mm at the front and 40mm at the back with 18" wheels.

rubs a bit on the arch guards on harsh roads, but seems to be alright now.
