    sorry should have been more specific, im in victoria and i think the lowest you can legally go is 100mm from the ground, thats the lowest part of the car that is, which is i think just behind the front wheels where the jacking point is.... so am i still ok you think?

    i think ill be ordering the kit from "going fast" on ebay. so itll be comin from america, i know i could probably find them here somewhere, but ill be gettin some other stuff (d badged grille, vr lip, smoked lights, etc) at the same time so i'd be savin a little money.

    ill be installing it myself, i work at VW in ferntree gully in melbourne as an apprentice so i got people to help me


    thanks too

    100mm from the ground... I just whipped out the ruler and did a quick run around my car. (which is stock AFAIK)

    If I drop it 60mm in the front and 40mm in the back it should sit about where I want it and put and put the whole thing pretty damn close to exactly 100mm from the ground.

    Hehe. Stupidly, I'm living by that rule And I'm oh so illegal right now haha.

    Shteifen, how much is the H&R cupkit going to cost you? Seeing as you're living in Melbourne, there's a shop in Flemington called GTsuspensions. Some good stuff there - they stock Koni, Eibach and H&R goodies. I personally bought my Koni struts and springs there - the springs are for sale right now though
