Alex's Mk5.2

[JET147]

For comparison, mine was lowered ~45mm all round and measurements were 130mm just in front of rear wheel, but there is part of the undertray a bit further towards the front which is 110mm (and lowest point on mine).

I'll come round one day this week to check it out!

Always welcome man, you'd probably find it in Toowong first though

That's the lowest point on mine as well, have you attempted removing the guard? Have you scraped it much? I imagine mine's just going to shave off inch by inch until there's nothing left

Im pretty sure Kincrome make an insane jack for lowered cars.....though you will pay for it!

I thouhgt Mk5 people had money

Probably easier to just buy some ramps, or planks of wood to drive onto before jacking it up. That's my plan for the mk2 once it gets down to 70mm from the ground.

Nah, we have to allocate a large sum for when the DSG implodes on itself.

Yeah I like the idea of ramps, but I wouldn't wanna scratch the front lip/exhaust (done one of each already).

I make "steps out of 3 blocks of wood (just pine slats) on each side.

put one block in front of each tyre, drive onto that. build the next step with 2 blocks in front of each tyre, drive onto that.

Then get the jack under there

I'm a AA battery off the ground.

I would laugh at this comment but it is too frightningly true.

I won't make any comment on how the car is looking until new pics go up.

Very true... I'm actually too scared to drive it hard just in case it decides to go all Mexican on me.

Wheels are on, 32MKV is gonna come over and we'll go grab some happy snaps.

Good to hear. But don't be a wuss, Why would you have to drive it slow?
Any rubbing at all? If not your doing it wrong.
