B6 Avant Coilovers???

Thanks for your quick answer.

I think for that price the car can just sit on the original sport springs. If a shock or something busts any time soon I will put the coilovers in then.

Thanks again

As I said just got the car slammed to the floor and it looks a lot better, I think anyway:

What do ya think?

Looks like the rear end is lower than the front? The car does look quite nice, but isn't a car that low really impractical?

I've always wondered, what happens when you hit a pot hole going round a corner with a car that low??

does the wing hit the tyre, or does the suspension hit the stops and take all of the shock?? Either way, I don't fancy it!!
But as I said in the other thread "Each to their own!"

There is obviously a bit careful driving to be done but that depends on the person driving I suppose.

In regards to the wheels rubbing i have not had that problem yet. The camber of the wheels was adjusted a bit so the wheels are angled in a bit at the top so I think it has worked.

It is still practical as i just lifted 40 6ft fencing boards in the back and still no rubbing!!

for the comments though!!

theres nothing wrong with the plates.. yes there illlegal.. but u can argue it out.. theres a few things you can say. i have been stopped 3 times now.. over 9 month. only once for the plates. always carry uk plates in boot + screwdriver jus incase they want to be fussy

the shocker takes the punch.. and the bumper hits the ground.. i always feel like ive just ripped it of if i sometimes go down bumpy road at night.
each to there own.. my car wont do speed bumps
