You bet your ass it made contact.
Does that contact tear up the tire sidewall? I'm seriously asking a non-trolling question here. No intent to start a war. Just trying to understand why suspension setup to make contact with the tire is desired.

I don't get it either, but to each his own.
I wouldn't personally go any lower than the Driver Gear drop.
I'm 24 and I have to agree, it's just not my thing, but to each their own.
I'm stock height and I find the car to be fairly low, just about low enough. If I get bored I may look at DG springs and maybe koni FSD. But to be honest in NJ during the winter i feel like the front bumper will turn into a plow on snowy days :yikes:
I'll admit, I'm an old guy in this crowd at 43. I had a '83 GTI I owned and drove for 14 years. I love the performance and handling of my current '11 6sp GTI, and it has continued to deliver a smile each time I drive it.
Aside from the smaller wheel gap some desire, what is driving reason behind so many Dubbers wanting to put air bags or coil springs on their car to lower them to the bump stops? Doesn't it ride like a covered wagon and destroy what makes the GTI shine as a hot hatch? :yikes:
I admit I do like to see a car set up on springs that make it look purposeful and geared towards handling
....putting your car on air bags is so you have a $25k+ seat to sit on while you listen to dubstep
