Get low tips/tricks

[justmalpica]

I am interested MKIV rear beam issues i have about 1/4" till the tire will hold me up i want to get some drop plates soon but still want to go lower asap. anyone have any tips? I'm finding myself driving with 0psi way to much.

no one? If it helps I have airhouse 2's and have already trimmed the part of the the d cup. can the other side of the d cup be trimmed also?

Do you still have the bumpstops in? What rear shocks?

I took my bump stops out.. didn't get that much lower.. and now I can't drive as low because when I hit bumps it feels like the shocks are gonna shoot through the roof. :\

I have almost the same problem.

I have Koni Yellow's with deleted bump stops and I'm still not sitting on tire. Might need to trim my air lift rear sleeve cups to go a bit lower, otherwise I don't know what else is holding me up.

The only thing that I'm confused about is my friend has the same set up, and his GTi sits on tire with the same wheel and tire combo.

Has your friend modified either of the brackets or the ''nipple'' on the body, or the spring cup at all? If not that's weird

Ive had some luck trimming the bump stop right to the sweet spot where it barely holds things up but also keeps that banging noise down. Mine are cut almost right down the middle, cut off wheel works great. As far as getting a littlee lower heres some pics of some mason tech brackets that I sectioned out. I could have took more out but I didnt want to cut the spring perch out.

Awesome thread, guys. This answered a lot of questions I had.

no nipple, previously destroyed the body for airlifts that i never ended up running, and modified d-cup upper mounts

would have loved to do this before i cut for the airlifts



figured i'd throw this in here to give people some ideas if they ever wanted to ditch airlifts...

Man I get to use this pic twice in like 5 minutes. Run an inverted AH2 with a notch for the fitting. I have had this setup since 2009 with no problems. Literally can't get any lower. I know this is an IRS however you should be able to run a similar setup with a Mk4 beam.
