Wheel and lowering advice :)

[discodave83]

and also important; does it scrub?

^^^^^^ what he said

H&R springs will lower the car nicely

either 35/55 or 25/40mm drop

ive been in a forum members polo gti with the 35/55 springs

everyones opinion will differ on what is firm and not, but i thought they were fine

i actually think their softer than the suspension on my mates brand new golf gti !

ive bought the 25/40mm springs, getting them installed next week

What kinda wheel and tyre set up do have??

^^^^^^ what he said

it would be far from any scrub. I myself have 35 55's and decent poke, and I have to really really try to get any scrub

stock 15's natm, putting stock polo gti 17"s after the spring drop

im at stock (sports pack) height with 18x7.5 wrapped in 225/40 and i get light scrub. or would that be more to do with the softer suspension setup as well as a larger overall wheel diameter?

I currently have 18's too. I'd say it's a safe assumption the stock springs and wider rubbers don't help. I'm on 215-35 however

[bigfoot]

Yeah that looks just about right. What tyre size is that? And how much has th car been lowered??

H&R 25/40 and 225/35 x 18

yea a little if you hit a bump at speed but nothing that i'm worried about. i believe it is the driver's side front tyre and touching the plastic inner guard.

any lower would be nuts

If you ain't scrubbin, you ain't dubbin.

I think he still needs to go 10-15mm lower at the front and 20+ on the rear - that's not low enough. I'm on coils and physically can't go lower on the rear without cutting the springs, and I don't scrub at all - that's on 17's, but the 9N has smaller arches any ways. I'm on 195 40's that helps.
