Guess they are not taking orders now but I got it when they first made them

Seems like they are?...

300$ for that thing

Seems like something you can fabricate yourself at a friends shop.

[thegutsche]

Seems like something I will fab out of an out street sign.

As low as I will go around here. (Some military bases have HUGE speed bumps) Not to mention the Syncro rear subframe sits MUCH lower than a normal Golf.



Destroyed my first oil pan back in November (and broke all the engine mounts in the process...)

1" spacers between the mounts and the brackets. only works on cable shift (o2a, o2j) cars.

the unibody is notched to clear the tie rods, and the axles.



sub 20"

another pics of mine, daily driven in nova scotia, canada.. cant really go lower cause the roads are ****.

[CandyWhiteSniff]

old mk2 5 years ago no real issues at this height patech coilovers


4 years ago 13x8 steels. h and r ultra lows (hooks were bent flat. self notched axels and tie rods both sides .. never busted a pan tho. just some leaky drainplugs and scraped holes thru a few pans. Perfect example of y u dont need a skidplate on a 8v.. only stops you from going low



new mk2.. 16v lip folded under car. couldnt find a 8v lip. 15x6 and 7 165/45's the small ass tires put this car about the height of my old gli on 13's. subframe would drag on any roads that were not flat. H and r ultra lows




and current on staggard et 14x8 steels. ultra lows all the way down as with the dails. 195/45/t1r's very drivable at this height. no issues on undercarrage with a little care. (this pic was before the settled) but still id like to take the fronts down 3/4 of a inch but id have to pull my helpers and would be close the the phone dial height

[CruZnVduBvr6]

some nice cars in here.

[VolkswagenJon]

I like where this thread is going.

[Batrugger]

I want to go lower, but this is my driveway:

[Boostedcorrados]

some nice cars in here.

I think this is a great height for 16s. Nice work! What suspension and hows it ride?

[jseeley]

no where near as low as some of you crazy kids, but this is me daily->

[lokeyvw]

Old Coupe on VMAXX coils wound almost all the way down. Rode like crap but I still miss that car. Front mud flaps were always scraping on the gound.

13x7 and 13x8 ATS Classics





Current Carat, not nearly as low as the coupe, Koni coils with about an inch of thread in the front and rear.

15x8 and 15x9 BBS RM's

[sdobbins]
