  • Lowering mk5 r32

    Will lowering my 2008 golf r32 with kmac springs effect the handling of the car? i asked the bloke at kmac and he reckons that it wouldn't affect the handling of it. Just want to see what u guys think.

        Any changes to the suspension, no matter how small will affect the handling.

        the bigger question is will it affect the handling for the good.

          I would say yes of course it's going to effect your handling. That is unless they have matched the springs to cancel out the effect of the ride height drop. Whether or not the effect is significant and if it makes the handling better or worse, who knows. Until you do it and see you'll never know.
          Also please don't listen to Adrian.

            2 inches is far too much to acheive from springs. go for a set of coilovers. they're matched springs and shocks with a threaded outer body so you can adjust the height.
