Koop Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 You won't have to notch the chassis unless you want to go really low, especially on 15s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyhole Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 thankyou Koop, how sure are you of this? Because i here sooooo many people saying the driveshaft rubs on the chassis.........and im looking to go low, but just high enough to go over speed bumps I dont know if to go 15s or 14s really, but i cant wait to get My Loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethan.xo Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Mines on 14s and lowered on coilovers and seems to catch the wheels a bit! Duno about the driveshaft though... Just got to go nice and slow over the speed bumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 There are loads of peeps with lowered GTIs on here who haven't notched the chassis, I really wouldn't worry about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got to go nice and slow over the speed bumps but apparently the driveshafts are thicker on gtis and tend to catch xThere are loads of peeps with lowered GTIs on here who haven't notched the chassis, I really wouldn't worry about itthankyou matey. i dont intend on going silly kinda low with it mate. just so i can get it looking nice on some 15" wheels with a little stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon5 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I have never particularly been into major lowness, so not sure tbh. Have a search of the site, Im sure it will give you a fair idea on how low you can go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam R4 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'm nearly all the way down on 14s with no problems except from really harsh bumps in the road that I sometimes can't avoid. You definitely won't need a notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
