#17: Re: My slammed GTi has a new set of rims!! AT LAST... Author: Jay206-GTi, Location: MansfieldPosted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 2:27 pm ---- A few more ''lowered pugs'' which should apparantly....be nose down?
And here's a pic thats been photoshopped to make the front end match the back...and to me, this looks completely stupid and not even level to the ground. Not to mention, the front wheels wouldn't be able to even turn!!

Top job they are. And you have a very good but also a long wish list lol.
I look forward to seeing it with the list completed

How come the majority are like this then mate?
I mean, my sills are flush to the ground and when i look through my rear view mirror its perfect.
I must admit that it does look lower at the back than the front, its just that it even looks this way when completely standard...which is why i'm a bit bamboozled with all these ''lower the front or raise the back'' comments? Because to me...it's sitting how it should in my eyes and the handling/ride hasn't been affected since i lowered it.
To me...everyone is expecting it to look like the last pic i posted thats just above ^ And to be honest, thats the 1st one i've ever seen sitting flush over each wheel, but looks wrong to me. Last edited by Jay206-GTi on Mon Nov 15, 2010 2:56 pm; edited 1 time in total

It's because you chose to look at those lowered that way. The others don't take so many pictures so you don't see them as much.

The majority aren't though.
You've picked a few modified examples, that in itself doesn't count for every lowered 206 out there.
The front should point nose down slightly, lowered or not. It's the car natural stance, by having the sills level or lowering too much on the back your taking an average handling hatchback and making it a dismal handling hatchback.
Wonder how many of those cars pictured are lowered on the 'notch / spline' method, which says it all really.

But my coilovers on the front are as low as they will go! Just doesn't make sense...

#29: Re: My slammed GTi has a new set of rims!! AT LAST... Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 3:20 pm ---- heres mine just to give you an idea of what it would look like slightly more of a nose down stance on 17's but tbh its your car and if your happy with it like it is i wouldnt worry
