I appreciate it, and you guys are probably right I could go lower and not rub when its only me in my car. However I use my car for everything, so if going lower is going to not allow me to drive spiritedly or have people in the back then I dont want to go lower. Also if I wanted to be that low I would have bought bags.
Since you seem to care so much, about 1 week after that picture was taken I went down another inch in the front.
I went from
Stock
coils and wheels
to what i am now, so technically yes.
:iono:
Dude.... there's a difference of maybe 0.5"...
I think the main point of all this is that you don't need to be 'slammed'. But you do need to get rid of all that wheel gap. And if you can tuck a little rubber while you're at it - you're gravy.
You can easily get some koni coils cheap, spin all down, you can even leave the perches in and pull off those wheels - mostly.
215 40's should be the max size tire you run on those wheels btw.
Food for thought.

If I hear you make this excuse one more time I might just drive down there and drive up and down your "lane" like 30 times to prove a point.
I literally drive my car every where and anywhere I load it full of people luggage wheels everything you can think of.
I've have 5 ppl in it with shit in the back, like 6 wheels and 6 tires at one time.
Add to that I drive into/through/around NYC which has the most horrible roads on a regular basis and you never here me complain it.
I am not saying you need to be slammed 1/2" off the ground but those wheels look like shit at that height, it is a matter of opinion that is shared by many.
All of the low or bust crowd need to take it easy though, it's not like he's running stretched tires and acting like he's the shit, so get off his balls. Sure you could go lower and still be pretty safe, but it's your car. I seriously doubt most of the guys that are dumped on static really "drive" their cars, those that do fuck shit up, then get air or go back up.

Car looked better with the gold wheels, sorry dude.
Don't follow trends, BBS RS only work on certain cars, and more often than not do not look good!
It's like baking a cake, you don't have any flour you get a shitty cake, your missing some ingredients, lowness.
Some style wheels look better with a moderate drop, you chose ones that only look good with a lot of drop.

golfmkv's very own white knight.
"small mesh design" wheels like RS/Super RS need a LOW car to pull them off.....period. Plus stretched tires for the sake of stretched tires is dumb. Since when are we not allowed to make constructive criticism?
ok lemme see if i get his clear, you complain about everyone making smartass comments, then proceed to post 3 times almost in a row, with smartass comments.[/B Then you say there are more important things, but u still waste your time posting again. heres some food for thought.
A:Shut the fuck up, because we weren't talking to you.
B: Lower it
To the OP, the car has potential, you have the parts to make the car look great, just fine tune everything, and yes that includes lowering it. but you're on the right path.
