lowering kit!!
I've been wanting to get a lowering kit for my MKIII since the day i got it and have found one on a site for 140.00 bucks! just the springs for a 2" drop. Im going to it and was wornding how others like the resaults with lowering. and also the price of getting them installed? and if new shocks are mandatory.

you can put the springs in yourself and save a little money, its really easy, takes some time if you are new to these kinds of things

I wouldn't be hasty and go with a cheap brand.

i highly recommend getting coilovers since they are adjustable

The ride gets very stiff. I have KYB shocks,2" lowering springs and 55 profile tires on the stock 16" rims. I don't mind the ride, but it gets pretty bumpy on a less than smooth freeway. I can tell if the dime is heads or tails when I run over it! The handling is greatly improved although I think the springs with less aggressive shocks and bigger swaybars would have been a better choice for flatter cornering and a little softer ride.
Jeez, getting old I guess. I used to love driving a go kart-like car...............sigh. Russ |
