You obviously know nothing. I am not sure why anyone, including myself, has even given you the time of day. Lowering cars started for performance, but lets face it, everyone knows wheel gap is ugly. I will probably go lower in the future.

Thanks Azn-Kid! I plan on painting the mirrors checkerboard too. Too be honest the drop hasn't really been that rough and I am already thinking I might go lower.

Lowering, if the suspension is originally designed for it, like in a race car is fine, otherwise you have only taken a serviceable safe vehicle and turning it in to a * poor handling unsafe at any speed junker. To do it in the name of style in a show car is one thing, but on the street it is STUPID!

spoken like a true VW person. i love looking at performance VW and retro car seeing the stanced cars. yes its not practical but it cool to see how people are pushing the limit of the cars and their suspension, wheel and tire combos. and agreed wheel gap is ughy. droping isnt for everybody obviously, my friend bought a elite s pre droped and hated it but another droped and stretched his since he likes to just cruz. so to each his own.

Btw, my lowered truck handles SOOOOOOO much better than stock, with my belltech progressive springs and drop spindles. And you are right, if i end up in the ditch, i was probably doing something really stupid because my lowered truck handles AWESOME!!!! I'm with Rob, you are unwanted. Go away.

Bear is right lowering on the track is fine and in a show car but for something you drive on the road it is completely retarded.
