Re: How low do you go.

["Chris Chemidlin" <spredhaus@hotmail.com>]

Yes! My GLi had stock springs and shocks in it and it sat at stock 
height. When the PO (friend of mine) put the Tokico's in, it lifted the 
car- what seemed to be 2-2 1/2"! It looked like a monster truck! 
My friends were calling it the 'Jetta Synchro' (I wish!)...Scott 
williams was eyeing up the 'Rally' clearance....
Well I put Sus. Tech. Sportlines (little lower/stiffer) in it and it 
sits at stock height again. The front is a little higher than the bacl, 
tho... gives it that 'hard launch' look....yeah, that's it....
