    Hey..

    Firstly mate, try grouping your threads as they are starting to merge with your questions.

    16's at the standard size on the mk4 when it was built along with 18's - I wouldn't go back to 16's, stick with 18's or even 19's.

    As I said on your other thread, -30 or -35mm would be a good place to start, this will mean less chance of ARB drop link breaking of driveshaft rubbing.

    for a starter there is a guy on ebay selling Jamex springs -35mm for 50 which is a full set.

    Hope it helps

    Wondered about going back to 16" for a while, mainly due to having cheap 18" reps that are heavy and in need of 4 tyres soon. I know it doesn't look as good, but I'd rather spend on the mk2 at the moment.

    What are your reasons for going 16"? As said above, they were standard on GTi's.

    Mk4's can look good lowered on its standard 16's -

    The montreal 2's above look great with low profiles and lowered. Best OEM wheel you can get on a Mk4 tbh :thumbup:
