Finally Lowering The MK3 GTI! ( Huge Improvement! )

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is exactly what the gti needed! Two inch drop in the front and one inch drop in the rear has the car sitting much lower and looking way better! Oem+ life is working well on the gti!

    11:10 you don't need to use coilovers because on those rear shock absorbers you can adjust the height. Currently yours are on the top you can lower them 5 cm if you need. Look on 9:44. Just disasemble the shock absorber and lower the plate to the height you want. I had these on my car and it is 10 times better than coilowers for a daily car. 😎✌ good luck and greatings from Mostar (Bosna i Hercegovina) 😎😍
