'98 Estate / Variant lowering and Camber plate installment

Featured Replies

Hi guys!


I own a 1998 1.6 8V variant which I love to bits but could do with some lowering / stiffening (sea sickness prevention measures). In addition, I would love to install a camber/caster plate on top to set it up correctly.


Now, since the Estate version is pretty rare and people don't seem to be doing much work on them, I'd like to hear from the guys that have already done it.


Here's the suspension I'm after:



It offers a 40/*60 drop which imho will set the car just nice (it's really high atm). What I fear though is that camber might go to + in corners as it's a classic MacPherson setup. Would love to know if anyone used

this suspension and what camber/caster plates to go for.


Any feedback, info and suggestions are appreciated!


Thnx in advance!

Hi,

Front 6n coilovers will fit it, and the camber will be adjustable as where it joins to the bottom arm the hole are elongated for that specific reason.

As for the rears, I ibiza coilovers will work.

A much better option IMO

Thnx buddy!

Any specific setups you had in mind? I have to keep it within a certain budget. Also, TUV certificate is a must as I would like to homologate the setup.
