that looks pretty low for 19" wheels. i'll take your old suspension off your hands when you get your new stuff.

man. at that angle you don't need a drop at all. i'd keep that ride height with tighter springs if you want a more sporty suspension. MAX i'd go is like 1" [&:]

check's right, i think you've got an almost perfect gap, i'd say a half-inch, maybe an inch more at the most, but that's not really worth it.

i agree if there is a kit that lets you go a half an inch lower with really tight suspension that would look and drive nice

I have a B6 with 19's and i just bought H&R SPORT springs, ans ive seen a lot of pics with the same setup and it looks perfect! I beleive the race springs lower it even more
