#1: Slammed..... Author: Spanerman, Location: Neath, South Wales.Posted: Sun Jan 16, 2011 4:17 am ---- Thanks to T_Bandery yesterday my car got lowered 60mm, but the back didnt shift, the torsion bars were a complete pig!
Heat and a 10lb sledge hammer didnt shift them, so we just fitted the shocks onto the back, I'm now on the lookout for a GTi rear beam...
Heres a pic, it doesnt look that low, but they are 14's and i cant get a can of coke under the bumper
Sam.

#3: Re: Slammed..... Author: Spanerman, Location: Neath, South Wales.Posted: Sun Jan 16, 2011 4:22 am ---- Nope, its a daily drive.
Only thing i havent been able to do so far is get up a curb outside my girlfriends house, but shes moving next week so its not a problem

Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Sun Jan 16, 2011 5:39 am ---- 14s is ambitious! you won't get low enough to be able to drive it and fill the arches, you'll always have arch gaps, i only just got it low enough on 15s and small tyres and its like 100mm couldn't go any lower!
Nice to see other people making their car's in-practically low though lol!

Peps keep saying to me mine needs lowering but I have 16 speed-bumps between my house and the main road so i think I will leave it as is, Don't fancy it taking me 30 mins to drive half a mile lol.

#11: Re: Slammed..... Author: Spanerman, Location: Neath, South Wales.Posted: Sun Jan 16, 2011 7:19 am ---- They are real and there's no bonnet catch, so 100% functioning.
Useful for tarmac road rallies and the odd track day

#13: Re: Slammed..... Author: Seabook, Posted: Sun Jan 16, 2011 7:23 am ---- so you got standard bonnet or glassfibre one?
#14: Re: Slammed..... Author: Spanerman, Location: Neath, South Wales.Posted: Sun Jan 16, 2011 7:25 am ---- Standard, it makes it much quicker to get at the battery negative wire in a crash rather than wiring a cut off to the outside.
