Well, I finally got my coilover set earlier on this month. Its possible to lower the GTi by up to 60m/m. I really think that if you went that low, even with standard wheels you might have clearance problems at times!
I dont find the ride any rougher than standard and after a couple of weeks I will tighten up the shocker adjustment.
I am yet to give them a good workout yet. That will happen this coming weekend!
Cheers, Andrew :)

Thanks Dave and Guy!
I had full intentions of measuring the height before I put it up on the hoist but damn well got too excited and forgot! :033102bad_1_prv: I think you might have done the same Guy??:icon_exclaim:
I think it is about 30m/m but will chech on the next GTI I get in here.
Thanks for the kind comments!
