     Hi All,

    new to the mk5 scene

    Ive been looking for a couple of days on here for posts about which springs to use with 19 inch wheels

    which springs would i need to lower it so it doesnt look like a jeep any more?

    i dont really want any rubbing issues like i have on my mk1, so whats the lowest i can go with out hitting problems with 4 people in the car

    Thanks for your help (as per normal pics would be great)

    gonna look to get a good make like eibach or HR

    Cheers adz

    lot of people use the eibach pro springs..if your budget will allow coil overs are the best bet...hopefully i will be putting 192 wheels on mine & a set of coil overs soon

    I think im going to go with the coilovers fully adjustable, where would be the overall best set?

    the set of lm reps i wanted were out of stock,

    and now i dont know what wheels to buy?

    what are 192? do you mean ace 192 in 19 or 18?

     both the rs6 and new rs4 are nice.

    only problem with 19s is that on my other cars they make the ride really harsh.

    its a shame cause only 19s suit the mk5

    well if you find any wheels with links etc post them up.

    i dont think the ace wheels will fit because of the offset

    why is it when your looking for wheels and lowering you dont know what to do.

    but as soon as you buy them loads of deals pop up lol
