Lowering

Guys,

What's the easiest, most cost effective way to lower my car an inch or so? TIA

Eric

Springs lower a TT coupe 1", but heard to stay away from me as they cause MORE understeer and create a harsh ride...
I would suggest coilovers if it is within your budget....
Do they make nething for TT cab yet??

Eric - I had H&R springs on my 01 TT and hated them!! ride was too rough and car sat too low...Also, the labor cost is the same whether you do springs or coilovers so go coilovers...FVD has the PSS-9 in stock

brought the Euro M030 from Gert & my dealer installed it, re-aligned for free + stock warranty. for the peace of mind, stick with OEM

picking up the car tomorrow. couldn't wait to see it so i went to dealer to check it out today. so far it looks good. pics will be ready tomorrow!

Evan,

If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for your setup? You can PM me if you want. If I decide to do it, my car will be in Miami in another month, so I could get the setup done while it's down there.

Thanks,

Eric

Eric,

Look at my link below and you can see the same size wheels and rubber on my TT with ROW Shocks and springs. Just about right for me. Not to low, but better than stock. It does handle better than stock also.
