    Lowering question

    I was looking through some other build threads and realised that pretty much the first thing everyone does is lower their car.

    What is the easiest and simplest was of lowering a mk1 golf?

    ^What he said^ Raceland, Hottuning, JOM, etc...
    Lowering springs will probably end up costing the same, plus the Mk1 struts have probably had it.

    Keeping in mind adjustable coilovers aren't street legal. No one really cares about that though.

    If you own an angle grinder there's cheaper ways of lowering your Golf.

    They need engineering to be considered legal. All car modifications are "illegal" and I use that term loosely.
