[1.8RI]

Hey I have a 2001 wolfsburg with 18 inch rims and would like to see what type of drop I want to go with. I want something with a good ride. But most of all to close up the gap between the wheel and the fender at stock high. PLease post pics of your car and the kit you used? And the price if you know. Thanks!

KW V2 Coilovers. The rear has been dropped a lil since this pic. I say go with coilovers, being able to set the ride height exactly the way you want it? Priceless. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

your car will not have a decrease of wheel gap with just a rim change -- in fact it will look like there is more of a gap if you dont also do suspension

Thanks fellas...
Drop is about 3" on coil overs.. I think in that picture I had the B & G coils on but they also could have been KX Varient 1s as I had a set of those too.
Cost? I dunno, call http://www.parts4vws.com to get some prices on coils.

Is that first pic of your Greddy GTI Photochopped? or is there something really heavy in the back? Or maybe it's just the camera angle?
It looks REALLLY REALLY low.
