[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 163594, member: 264"] The simple answer to the original question is, it depends on the vehicle as the suspension geometry will be different. The Mk4 Golf platform was at its best at factory sport ride height, as any benefit from lowering the car and therefore lowering the center of gravity was negated by the change in geometry screwing up the roll centers . So, a drop needed much stiffer springs to counter the increased tendency to roll. Roll center adjusters and stiffer anti roll bars helped cure it. With the 133, it looks like the front suspension can take about 25-30mm before the suspension geometry will start to get majorly compromised. Ive been looking at the Clio Cup racer roll center adjusters but they probably won't fit as the extension pins are going to be too long. [/QUOTE]
