    Lowest mk1 Golf coilovers out there?

    What are the lowest coilovers out there for a mk1?

    Specifically in the rear in comparison to kw,hr, bilstein etc?

    Are they all the same?

    Coilovers + strut top raisers + tie rod flip kit + notch + rear drop plates = lowest!

    Pretty much exactly what Woody said above!

    You'll be needing to notch both driveshafts if you plan on being super super low though..

    I had some weitec's they did well for lows. Though the combination with 13" phats probably made most difference.
    I did have to have the chassis notched also
