Limbo Time! How low do you go!

I've taken my Cabby down 60mm in front and 40mm in back with an FK coil/shock kit. Love the ride it's given in the past year, handles great and looks awesome. Want to go lower eventually but that will wait. What have you all done?

Well, my rocco got the H&R sport spring treatment which brought her down about an inch and a half, front and rear.

The wifes cabby will be getting the same treatment and since I've already dropped some GTI 14" rims on the cabby, the rims + springs should make the car look very low indeed.

Im actaully only .5" because Im running H&R O.E. Sports that were meant for the Rabbit and not the heavier Cabriolet

Anyone else done this before

I have lowered my cabbie in the front about 60 mm and in the back about 40 mm. And I have done it with Koni suspension. It drives really sportive and also comfortable.

Car looks good dropped like that, though here, you better have some ride height and suspension travel since they fix pot hole with large steel plates. An thats if they feel like fixing the pot hole. Not to mention, I think Ga is the home of the 8" tall speed bump. No I'm not kidding, they seem to be everywhere. And while I might be exagerating just a bit, I asure you they are very tall.

Stock now, but will lower it for about 50-60mm maximum. With the roads here even this will be too much...

Sitting stock height... but am in process of getting set of neuspeed springs to go 1.5 " lower soon

Stock height because I live on a dirt road and the roads in Maine are sooooooo bad. I'm on SRS racing springs front and rear with Boge Turbo all around. The best handling FWD car I have ever driven. I'm sure the 15X7 American Racing rims with the 195/50/15's don't hurt either.

Swapped out my 82 'rocco's H&R 1.5" kit and somehow it dropped the cabby 2"...

mine's still sitting stock and she's gonna stay that way, too many potholes, bumps, rough rail road tracks (i have to cross 2 sets of 3 everday to go to work, and i only live a few miles from my work), steep inclines going into business parking lots, etc. stock height = no scrapes for me =]
