Hi Sonny, yes it feels stiffer and more planted i had non ss before, i also think the ride quality is better and it looks a lot better so very happy with the mod, just can't wait to get back home to drive it :biggrin3:

I always wanted to get this done and I only knew of Kim Collins down very south, that could do this but fuel costs and fitting costs was not makin it cost effective vs kw3s. Now that Uve explained with pics how to do it, do u think a reputable local mechanic can follow it ? I know of a audi technician that does a bit of moonlighting . I really want that lowered phat look but don't want to get rid of drc.
U should put up some more pics of the lowered car for us to drool over

Quick question, where's the best place to get the springs from and can you buy only the front set as apposed to the full set? :?:

best mod I've made

springs and spacers make the car look the way you wished it would

Looks good mate, and nice views of good ol' Newquay too.

How did you get on fitting the discs and yellowstuffs? I'm about to do mine by following Sonny's DIY guide...
