mk2 Pic request

[justinking]

hi, im bored so wondered if anyone has any pics of a mk2 gti lowered on FK's around 55mm/80mm? thanks

80mm - don't be daft.

80mm would be very low

Mines 40mm and it can be a pain sometimes......big beastie speed bumps.

I brought mine already lowerd and its been taken down by 60mm and to be honest its a very solid bumpy ride id proberly go 45/50mm depends weather you want the comfort or the looks

super dan thats a photochop...either that or your arches have been abused some way...lovely looking car though

my cordie runs 60mm and it has no arch liners, and the arches have taken a beating.

 

[westoncraig]

they aint been flattened in places like in that pic though

 

[andythom]

Heres a piccie of mine at -40mm

Front usually sits lower.....just a funny hill at knockhill

I would only drop 80mm if on coilovers, and even then wouldn't want to drive it on the roads. 40mm is a nice height to drop, but even I suffer, and scrape in multi-storeys and getting into my garage!

thanks for the help, i have a set of coilovers sitting in my garage not doing anything, supposed to have a guy interested in them, but he hasnt got back to me, so was considering just fitting them.. they are adjustable 55mm or 80mm..

I've got my Ibiza lowered 60mm and its been fine, no catching or anything on 17's. Think it all just depends on the roads around and how you drive.

Here's a few pics of mine lowered on FK Highsports, still got the inner arch just had to cut it a bit.

Knocked the lip on the arch up myself (carefully) it rubs on full lock and sometimes rubs on the front when hitting a bumpy road. I have a few big speed bumps around my area, as long as you take your time it's fine.

45 all round on my mk2, awful ride though mate even rubbed on the inner wheel arch sometimes

Normal Spax shock n springs. 7x17 wheels, spax bump stops,
Only the front wheels rubbed on chassis only. Loads of clearance between wheel and arch/liner.

deff not a photochop mate i took the picture myself.. could just be the angle? wasnt saying you was saying anything bad but if somthing looks wrong on my car id like toknow so i could get it sorted.... i cant seem to see anything wrong today when i looked close up? what do i look for to see if they are wrong?

Heres mine dropped either 80 or 100mm (cant remember!) on H&R competition spec adj coilovers, with 215/35/18 tyres..

2 inches were cutt off the arches for the 18s to have a snug fit with the ammount it's dropped.... still gotta go at the arches underneith and tidy it up a bit more..
