Lowering and Wheels (new to site)

[brad elwood]

hey guys,

I have a 2002 mk4 golf, was wondering where in sydney you would suggest to get it lowered? I was looking to lower maybe 3inches at the back and 2.5 at the front. From anyones experience would this be ok?

Also with wheels, ill be looking at either 19's or 20's, does anyone has experience or suggestions on whats the biggest size you could go without hassles??

Also if anyone could recomment a good place in sydney to get the exhaust done on my car?

Thanks for your help in advance, like i said im fairly new to this site, but will be looking to do alot of mods to my golf

f you just want the car to be low, with no emphasis on performance than just go for king springs at around 500 fitted.

Oh and welcome to the forum btw

hey mate, welcome. where abouts in sydney are you located cause there are guys all around here that'll install suspension.

what kind of golf is it? (1.8 turbo, 2.0, 1.6)?

oh, ask/pm matt (golf loon) about coilovers for mk4. it'll be pretty tricky finding lowering springs that go that low. most are like a 60/40 split.

King springs can be set at any height you want, just wait 3 weeks for them to make them for you.

well im fairly new to all this car stuff. But I also have a corolla seca that has king springs in it (i didnt put them in, they were on it when i bought it) they are the yellow king springs (i think they are all yellow???) but he said they were adjustable. would they be the same thing your talking about?

Also Jayjay thanks for that, ill send him a pm and see whats the g o

I maybe should wait and see what size wheels ill be putting on first, then get it lowered? makes sence i guess . .

From where? King springs have them listed ONLY as low's, no super lows or anything.

I think at this point in time, yes it would just be for looks. Im thinking of doing performance mods to the engine a lil later, but for the time being i want wheels, lowering and exhaust. ( I DONT wnt the ppl in the next suburb to hear me coming!!)

do you have any experience with exhausts? What type would you recommend? I dont really want the "cannon" sound, just for performance and a nice sounding exhaust!

Its a 2.0ltr golf. No turbo (yet!)

Thanks again for your help guys
