FK Hi-tec suspension kit 55/40 for Golf/GTI

[F_E_E_L]

does anyone here use it??
I searched from vortex and I can only find pics of Jettas

The Jettas are very low,



However, this is the only GTI I found, it is not as low as the Jettas!!


So I am wondering if anyone has the FK 55/40 on your Golf/GTI. I am to know if the Golf/GTIs don't drop as low as the Jettas since the black GTI has the exact ride height as I want.

Thx for help

There is no way to tell 100% what the drop will be. I have this kit on my car (Jetta) and I think Bart has the same kit on his Golf. I am happy with it, I think it is just high enough to avoid winter problems in Calgary. In summer it would be nice to be even lower, but oh well.

Yeah my receipt says 35/40 but I am not so sure thats whats on the car... its definitely more than 35mm lower! But like I said, most people find that its impossible to predict the height because there are so many springs and so many different VWs each with its own characteristics. In any case, same kit basically.

I'm think about putting these on too. How long does the installation take?
