60mm is a  All you want to do is drop it 30mm max on some decent suspension like CUJ's Billies/Eibach combo and away you go.any lower and you look like chav  |

Personally I think 30mm to 40mm maximum, but it depends on how slammed you want it to look. Any lower than 40mm and it may have a negative impact on the handling (IMO).________________________________________ 340 horses |

having just fitted bilstein replacement struts and eibach springs, along with thicker torsion bars and new beam bushes, the drop of the car is approx 30mm (a little more on the back) it seems such a good balance, that the car seems extremely planted on the roads around where i live  ________________________________________ FRESHLY RE-FURBISHED GTI BEAMSFITTING AND LOWERING AVAILABLE.
