COILIES, amazing things but everyone is always down 100-120mm or so they say, the pics blatently show the helpers still in when that fully compressed is about 40mm so at the most they are 80...

Its like i've got the biggest nob... why bullsniff

always makes me laugh when i see someone saying i'm down 100+ on 16x7.5s in a mark 4 haha good luck

you cant just measure how much thread is left on the coilies to say how low you are, theres spring tension and sprung weight acting on them to consider, dont just blagg it, any car 100mm down, especially on coilies would sit right on the floor

my mate has the same coilies as me (the blue 5door with smoothed rear doors on wellers) and is on 175/50/13s and he has a couple of cms of thread left and i have none on 185/50/14s and he's nearly on the floor and thats about 70mm down so i'd love too see these 100mm on 13s in mrk 4s people have as daily driver...

that 20mm of thread higher doesnt mean he's 20mm higher if he had the same tyres for people who like to think it is 20mm difference...

if u r REALLY 100mm dont in a mark 4 then sicki! thats looow :-D

hmm looks like i'm on my tod then

liers and cheats never prosper

Doesnt really annoy me, but i can see your point

Not many people care enough to go into technicallities (sp?) like you though

For the 2nd time in a few hours (youre doing well young apprentice )

Is a tad annoying when there blatently not as low as they say but hey don't sweat about it, we'll see whos talkin shit when it comes to the "Polo Show" and we see everyone's car's in the flesh !

I've still got my helper springs in AND I AM down 120mm.

Rant about that

And I do have the biggest nob!

LOL

13x7+8with 175/50's with no helpers and no threads left on the coilovers, that how the mouse rolls

well used too

I dont know/care how much mine is dropped, its just down to height i consider to look right. I'm guessings it about 60 front and 50 out back.

Well I've got a little nob and my car is that high it looks like its on stilts...

see a little honesty never hurt anyone... haha
