Lowering gear for my '89 Coupe (not 80-esque)

lewiswilkinson · 26-04-09, 04:31 PM

Need some lowering gear for the coupe.

Would like 60mm or more... ideally.

Its not the 80 coupe shapre, despite the year.

I'm in Cornwall, or Brighton, depending when you catch me.

Its one of these..:

GMax do 40 and 60mm drops. I doubt you can go any lower without converting to an air ride. 60mm could make the ride very harsh. I can't speak from direct experience but there is experience on the forum on this. I am on a 40mm drop and it's not the most comfy ride.

Ah ok, thanks.

Ride isnt a mssive issue hopefully, once I have a standar interior again. My last two golf GTI's have been down around 100mm on coilovers and havent been the nicest of rides.

Cheers for the link, but there doesnt appear to be a tag for my coupe in the audi section?

I'm not sure if -60mm springs might kill the shocks in time, but we'll see.

I suspect this is the kit you want. I would give Gmax a call before ordering to confirm obviously.

Just a link to GMax site in general..
