RedRobin Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I think that we are all saying pretty much the same as each other aren't we? In other words that it's critical how much lowering any aftermarket springs achieve and that it's also important to consider the other suspension components. I've only just noticed that the original poster is referring to a Mk4 GTI. I hope I have misunderstood the original poster but I have a niggle that he is only considering springs and as much as 55-60mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I still think you are wrong Chris, but i'll agree to disagree, this could go on all year. Oh and cheek has no 'c' in it! All friends again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Theres so many factors to consider if it will be 'better' or worse. Most like geometry have been mentioned, but also not fogetting things like wishbone angles, drive shaft angles and other things that may cause premature ware problems in the future. Also remembering is if you make it too stiff it does not always equate to better handling on public roads as the wheel may spend less time in contact with the contoured road surface especially on a bumpy road. Theres too so many factors to consider with such a blank statment as it been better or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregmaddocks Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 cheers for all this info. the springs are going on at the weekend followed by camber, toe, and alignment rectification. ive got these springs free and by no means keeping this permanent, but when greater funds are raised im investing in a full FK highsport kit + bushes etc cheers again (no more fighting either girls) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
