    mk3 lowered springs

    Hi, after a full set of lowered springs for a mk3 vr6, nothing too drastic, just want a respectable drop.

    Spax lowered springs OK?

    This is what they looked like on my MK2 (same suspension as a MK3).



    I've also got aftermarket sports shocks to go with them. Not sure what brand but they are yellow and much stiffer than standard shocks.

    $200 for the lot.

    Cheers

    Paul

    Hard to tell. I've had quite a few suspension setups so I don't know how these compare to standard height.

    My MK2 is low but was used as a daily over country roads so not stupid low.

    The springs were taken off a VR6. I ran them with the sports shocks on the back and standard shocks on the front because they were too stiff on my MK2.

    $120 for just the springs.

    Cheers

    Paul
