Spacers and springs

Featured Replies

Looking for advice. I was considering getting 20mm spacers at the rear and 15mm at the front. I would also be getting H and R springs to lower it 25mm. Four people regularly travel in the car. Will I have any issues with grounding or wheels rubbing on the bodywork? Any advice would be gratefully accepted. (Mk 3 Vrs) I might also fit a Maxton front splitter.

I've got lowering springs (40mm) on a non-vrs model and spacers the same as yours. 

 

Never had any issues with rubbing even with a full boot load, 3 passengers and a dog. 

 

I have to be aware of speed bumps, ramps, drop kurbs, but just go slow and it is fine. 

 

Hope this helps!

All your questions covered here. . . Pretty much.

 

 

I've just lastweek fitted h&r springs and 15mm spacers alround, but the 15s are going to have to come off the rear in favour of 10mm's . . . I have the facelift which has a wider rear track (38mm wider as standard on the rear than the pre-facelift) . .so the facelift as standard is almost the same as pre-facelift with 20mm spacers on the rear.

 

I also have a maxton v3 splitter sat in the house that I don't think I will be fitting now, it will make the car impractical and be catching the front end everywhere.

 

I also beached it on my parents drive this week. . . The h&r springs don't sound like much of a drop at just 25mm on the vrs. . But its enough. (And Ive spent years driving decked impractical cars)
