muzzy Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Yes it is possible. Will wear ur standard shocks out quicker and ride will be a bit bumpy lumpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob84 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 prob about 80mm and if u keep ur standard shocks, the ride will be total toss get a full kit shaun, cheaper in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob84 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 coilovers then, or butchering a set of -60mm springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Finesse Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 (edited) 100mm is my guess. Someone please find me coilovers that will go that low for a mk6, most I've found is 75mm But its not just a case of dropping it and thats it. Suspension components wear out alot faster. I heard Toby had a few problems with tracking and other angles when he dropped his 60mm on a full kit. It'll certainly look good, 60mm on 17s shouldn't need any arch work unless you have a full car. Just be expected for some bills if things go wrong Edited February 20, 2004 by Ex-Finesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southendboy Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Ive jus found out ive got a prob wit my back off side wheel. The inner edge of the tyre is wearing and its making a funny noise, like the wheel bearings going, but i dont think it is that, and its def not rubbing.
