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.

thanks man i did the same check, just wanted to make sure if anyone had done it and if they could insure it with that drop before i spent all that money on it. be quite a waist if i ordered it and couldnt use it!

anyone have a kit like that in their golf?

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
