We did an install on the MK4 kit a month or so ago and worked with their engineers to find out what the max lowering that could be achieved and still be within a safe range for shock operation and it was fairly aggressive. Click here for more info
We have a MK2 & MK3 lined up for next week and will be posting the same info for your reading enjoyment.
Stay tuned!

Here are some additional pics from the small photo shoot we did after the suspension was installed
The Golf above is not at full lowering for the kit, it has been raised up to suit the owner and the car.
On our test Golf, the Front measurement is set at 12.5" front, and 12.5" rear using the measurement style of the center of wheel to fender.
The Fender to ground on this vehicle in its current setup is 24 1/4" Front and 24 1/8" rear. At this setting, the vehicle is visually level to the naked eye.
At this level the passenger side drive shaft WILL RUB on the OEM Sway bar setup under hard left turns or large bumps, but is fine under normal driving conditions.
The owner has removed the front inner fender wells previous to the installation.
A 5mm spacer was used with this wheel/tire combination to clear the coilovers.
Let us know if you have any additional questions!

After working with the engineers, and getting the max lowering sorted out here is what we have.
The measurements below are taken between the center of the wheel and the fender as in the diagram below:
- The max lowering shown in the tables above is achieved at the lowest position of the threaded adjustment on both front and rear axles.
- Helper Springs have been retained and should not be removed! See notes below on the Helper Springs.
- These measurements allow for the shock absorbers both front and rear to have the minimum amount of travel required by the engineers to do their job before full bump stop engagement.
- You must trim 50% off of the included Front bump stops to achieve this lowering & travel range.
- Removal of the OEM sway bar is necessary to achieve the max lowering due to contact issues with the drive shaft. Aftermarket units are available that will clear this issue.
- Depending on your wheel and tire combination, you may need spacers to clear the coilover perch/springs. SOLO WERKS recommends at least 5mm clearance in this case.
- At the lowest level, you may need to modify one or more of your body panels to allow for sufficient travel of the wheel inside the fenders. Please ensure that you have clearance from all obstacles through the complete travel of the wheels.
NOTES:
- The Helper springs are there to keep tension on the main spring during full extension of the shock absorber.
- The main spring is not long enough on its own to keep the shock at full extension.
- Removal of the helpers will result in the main spring being able to travel away from its upper and lower spring perches, and will result in damage to your suspension as well as other components.
- DO NOT REMOVE THEM!!!

Beside the two coil perched locking together, is there anything stopping the perched from turning down past the last thread? There appears to be a couple inch gap between the last thread and the next thing to catch the perch, in the event that it winds itself down.
A giant success in mediocrity! - Bonneville 130mph club - PIR perfect(0.00) light club.

Hello Der Roboter, thanks for the question.
If you were to unlock the perches, you could spin past the last thread.
With the two perches locked against each other, it is almost impossible to get them apart with out quite a bit of force from two separate spanner wrenches, well past the force that anything the vehicle can put on them.
Thanks

do you have any pictures of a mk3 jetta lowered and how do you compare to raceland
#35
Unfortunately we do not have any images on a MK3 yet, still waiting for the customers out there to post up!
As for a comparison to Raceland, here are the main advantages of Solo Werks vs Raceland:
- Heavy Gold Zinc Plated bodies for drastically improved corrosion resistance vs standard Silver Zinc (as on the Racelands)
- 3 Year Warranty to original purchaser (vs 2 on Raceland)
