    I cut the bump stops at least in half on my decent quality coilovers. Rides a heap better than hottuning's did at the same height.
    Got strut top risers on the way and going to get some drop plates made (or perhaps make em myself). Comfort and low is achievable.

    If you read up on the infamous "The Bucket", you'll find the ride quality was awesome except for when the rear beam dug into the bitumen. I'm not going to do raised rear strut towers with Porsche struts though!

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

    they only part that could be illegal are the locking rings. (ie car could possibly 'change height' by it's self, if the locking rings came loose)

    They don't alter the mounting points of the suspension, so shouldn't be an issue.


    i like volkswagens
