  • Golf 4 questions

    HI.

    I'm thinking of buying me a Mk4 Golf GTI and I have some questions.
    how low can I go before I get stuck with bad roads, and what are the issues when I go so low?

      The car in the picture you posted is on air.

        You can get to about 23" at fender height before really worrying about much. Depending what year and engine it is, it's easier to go lower. What is your definition of bad roads?

          well, I hoped Norwegian roads will explain enough. speed bumps, cracks and holes in the road.

          do you have some pictures how low I can go without air ride?

          Here are some examples of what I see every day

                Anti roll bars cause a brief problem on the mk4 when going low as the anti roll bars are above the drive shaft. You can get new arb's which go ubder so give plenty of room, or do what we did to a couple of mate's mk4's/boras and cut them out

                    have you tried them? looks better when the wheel is centered in the wheel arch.

                        you can equally as low with coils as you can on air. its not a hard concept to grasp. google search some images or ask over on VWvortex. you keep posting pictures of cars on air. just get air then

                          Not a chance. That's my friend Greg's car and it's low even by bagged standards with notched passenger side frame rail, notched for tie rod clearance, subframe corners modified, etc.

                          To the guy above me, no, you cannot go as low on coilovers as you can on bags on a MK4. If you're talking about just slapping some bags on a car, it's possible but a bagged MK4 set up to go as low as possible will always be lower than a MK4 on coilovers cranked all the way down. On top of that, it would be absolutely miserable to even attempt to drive a MK4 that's in the sub 22" fender to ground height for any extended period of time
