    Thinking of the Spax PSX Kit for the VR, damping adjust but not coilovers.
    It drops it about 50mm and I assume on to 17's this will
    look ok.

    Anyone got pics or previous experience of this height???

    Mine's a 40mm kit and sits nicely without the huge wheelarch gaps, but still goes over speed humps etc! That's on standard 15's.

    Mines on spax psx, lowered 60mm on 15's. Looks gr8 but is a pain in car parks and speed bumps. Need to be taken very carefully or the front end scrubs the floor like mad. Handles like its on rails though. And gives a seriously harsh ride. :)

    Mines lowered about 50mm at the moment on Koni Coilovers.

    And was thinking about putting the Audi TT Comp alloys on mine aswell :o
