MK5 on coils

[M703]

me? if so, this is my flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mantonucci/ but thats the only picture so far with my current coil settings. i plan on taking more soon.

do you have any more pictures of your car?

[M703]

slam it!

if your front is all the way down you can definitely do the rears!

my rear tire is tucked and my front is a little

just wait until Spring ... there will be a nice update

in the spring im getting my frame notched, and my helpers out. THEN i will slam the front, and the rear. right now everything sits pretty even, i don't want reverse rake.

[powww]

fk silverlines 0 threads front and rear, notched

this is mine ok fk silverlines.. all way down in the front (helpers still in) a good amount in the rear left.

well thats the thing i took my helpers out and i let them settle in. its an ok drop but i feel like it should be lower compare to other mark generations on coilovers so i was thinking of cutting like maybe 2 inchs into the frame. and my car is white but ima wait till the spring. and maybe im thinking i gotta lower it because all the mark 5's have lips

keep in mind that other MK's can "cheat" by using 13-15" wheels

so on a 17-19" wheel they would be just as "low" as you are

kinda sucks

I'm surprised there is no "chart" flowing around with the shortest shock/strut coilover assembly

I know that the FK one is A LOT shorter then a stock shock/strut

but this may vary between coilover manufacturers (which is why a chart would be nice - lets you see what you can use and decide how low you want to go)

should i get my frame notched?? would it be smart ?

if you want to be low, yes.

IMO once you go notched you can't go back

so its a REAL commitment

a friend of mine stopped by the other day with H&R Ultralow's and his looked like it was lower, but was probably the same height - his car is white and mine is black - so his looks different just because of the color of the car itself

I've heard that about taking the helpers out before, I'll probably end up doing that in Spring

right now the debate is whether to raise the car for winter or not ... and "NOT" is winning by a longshot :lol:

I'm sorry to be hijacking this thread, but figured I'd rather do this than start a new thread. Will coilovers that fits a Golf MKV GTI fit a regular Golf MKV? :-)

yes. same for jettas, b6 passats, audi a3s (mkv chassis) and mk6 golfs/gtis.
