    So whats the deal with wanting to go so low???
    I cant understand this at all, looks maybe, but I think it looks dumb.
    I had my old comp Golf reasonably low but mainly did it by altering the strut tower tops, thus retaining suspension travel. I had to cut and gusset a section on the rhs of the body above where the driveshaft runs as it rubbed initially.
    My Mk5 could go lower if I wanted but I would rather ride comfort and handling to looks anyday thanks!!

    You could always remove the helpers and lift the perchs up a bit to compensate..

    Don't the helper springs soften the rebound aswell???
