depends on how much you want to drop an how much you want to spend.
Another +1 for springs give it a 1-2" drop, if you like it then get coilovers later. I bought a set of H&R Sport springs (1" drop) had them on for a month and then went to H&R Ultra Low coils (3.25" drop)
You'll always be able to sell the springs @ about a 50$ or so loss so not a big deal and if you do the install yourself it's a cheap route as well.
@Gunkata, why do you think i posted another thread about springs, it's because the search didn't provide me with information that i needed... Or maybe i'm not searching it right... So take a chill pill...
I am considering getting my Golf lowered and I wondered if any of you could help me.
I have never done this before, I have no idea what im talking about and I have no idea where to start so could anyone point me in the right direction?
