jr Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Just about to order a kit, but had a thought about 60mm lowering, will it be ok, or start the problem ive read about with the drifeshaft hitting the chassis rail ?also any pics on the 60mm and 40mm kit to compare, cheersjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 What model?Non-GTI's are fine til about 100mm down I think.GTI's start to knock at about 55mm ish. Wouldn't have thought you'd get any problems on a fixed drop, otherwise weitec wouldn't have made the kit that low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 GTI's are lower than non-GTI's to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapo Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 GTI's are lower than non-GTI's to start with.Yes about 20mm, your basically saying they are 45mm lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) I can only speak from experience.I measured my ground clearance to be 135mm standard.I lowered it and measured the clearance from the same place to be 80mm.I then had to raise it to 85mm clearance as the driveshaft was scraping.I'm sure I read that Tigz's was okay til about 100mm down. But I did say 'about' and 'I think', which shows I was uncertain if that was the correct figure.

Grapo Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 60mm will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picola Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Ive got the same kit, not problems from me. Just watch out for dodgy roads/ humps/ potholes, which would apply to any 60mm drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
