    Coilover question - mkv gti

    Hey guys,

    I have H&R coilovers fitted to my MkV GTi, and I have one simple question:

    In the rear the winding plates in which the spring sits in lets you adjust the height (ie: compression of coil).

    Can this be taken out in order to bring the back of the car further down?

    I hope this makes sense to people.

    I'm not familiar with H&R but I wouldn't think so, that's what holds the spring in on all the coilovers i've seen.
