Hey guys,

 

I've got a 6N2 currently sitting on original shocks with 40mm lowering springs atm. Problem is... its not low enough. And it drives like shit.

The shocks bottom out on the smallest of speed bumps and then proceed to turn the car into a bouncy castle. 

 

I've been weighing up my options of going coilovers or a full suspension kit and have decided that coilovers are too much like hard work from the side of maintenance and setup. Also don't want to have to spend 400 quid on some coilies that i will have to worry about. I like the idea of being able to manually adjust my ride height but Englands that full of potholes that i doubt i could go that low anyway. So lowering kit it is. Im not part of stance nation 🤣

 

Im running on 15 x 7.5j D/W G705s with 195/50/15s by memory. Look great until you realise you could fit a head inside the arch 😅.

 

So basically I'm wondering if anyone on here is running similar setups but with a lowering kit such as the AP 60/30 kit on venom motorsport. I saw the Eibach sportlines on a 6N2 GTI that looked good but that was on 16s (see attached)... and an inch can make a big difference 😜.

 

I want similar fitment to the image below but with my 15s. Modified but manageable. And hopefully more comfortable than linear springs. 

 

Cheers 

bump... want to get this sorted as quick as possible while the weather is holding up. Also before the MOT in sept/oct. Local garage said the shocks were not a failure yet but getting there.
