Considering lowering the Mrs 205 gti.

How low to go is the question.

Ideally I want the tarmac look
Not slammed, too many speed humps, plus I like throwing it down country lanes.
Std ride at present.

P.S. many splines on the rr to drop 1"?

Cheers

I think its common to lower 1 spine, any more and you're at risk of riding on the bump stops.

The pics fairly large so I haven't put it in directly.

I'm fairly sure ours is 2 spines down and its too low IMO, on the road it hits the bump stops and we can end up with dangerous handling.

Am I correct in saying 1 spline= -1"?
Then -1" springs at the frt, to level off.
