to move your coilovers up you need to get the coilover wrench. there are 2 of them, one smaller then the other

Re your brakes, I have a 99 1.8 SE and I had the same thing, after applying the brakes, at low speed there was a noise from one wheel only which dissappeared when driving or applying the pedal again, my brakes required replacing and when they did they found there was corrosion in the return of the caliper, so that the pads weren't able to return properly and were causing the noise.

ok, i'll do that, you might be right...

today a guy from a local shop took of the wheel and told me that the brake pads was all ok, and the problem could be an ABS sensor, or something related, so he told me to took the car to a place where they have a computer to check the ABS system (can i do that with Vag-com??) so i think i'll first try what you told me and if it doesnt work, i'll take it to that place.

Thanks everyone for your help!!!
