Do I dare go anymore? Do 12k a year so need it to not knock crap at my arches.

Never have a full car or boot.

My photo skills are crap

Do it! Just watch that splitter on the curb then!

 

[PaulW]

Yeah ha, already told the mrs to start parking arse end in

I'm in the same boat. These Bilsteins don't go very low.

Measure the wing arch to the top of the rim. What is this length currently?

I'm approx 8.5 cm all round but want it to be 7.5cm ideally.

First day I got my ED30 Golf, I drove into a carpark, front first into a space which I never ever do, to be greeted with a crunch. Cringed as I knew what it was straight away and was only on Eibach Springs.

Got out and inspected the damage, just scuffed the underside which was already scuffed but if I had hit it with force that would of been game over!

[JamesBaby]

Yes at 12 o clock. Distance to rim edge.

Ok. You've got plenty to move on. Drop it at least 15mm and see how you like it.

With a bit of persuasion and one of those things bought from your monthly subscription email she will agree

Your car looks fine to me as it is mate. A nice uniform gap between arch and tyre, which looks soooooo much better than this slammed nonsense where the car looks like all 4 springs have snapped in half.

Maybe I'm just too old and don't get it but the MK4 seems like a really good compromise out of the box to me. Maybe just needs a slightly bigger rear arb and the blue controller and that's it!

I spent 1000s on my Corrado getting it to handle. First H&R Coils, then custom Gaz gold coils, then KW V3 coils plus ARBs, camber plates, braces, the lot......but honestly, a standard height Corrado was just as good round the corners, if not better, especially on bumpy B roads.

I won't be making that mistake again
