DanGTI Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 i think it is 15mm lower....just that having 45 profile tyres still leaves a gap from the arch to trye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo_1.0 Posted November 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 so if i went for a 40mm drop and some 16" there will be not a lot of a cap right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the whole car isn't that much lower, we just have a bodykit with a low front spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p88bel Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 snoopstahs spot on its only bout 15, I noticed before fitting my coilovers this as id gti gear on mines without lowering it and sat it next to a standard gti and sat about 15 higher than gti, but since ive fitted the custom coilovers i got made up on germany ive got a clearance off ground which is just a few inches, ive had it sit about 1 inch of the deck one occasion anyone wanting a pic of that let me know it looks nuts the rear rims right inside my arches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
