Anyone running the Koni spring and shock setup? The set I am looking at lowers the ride by 30mm. THX.
I have 17s and think this would work for street.

Thanks Rally. I had to bring the back up a 1/2in. tonight and drop the front 1/2in. Hopefully it is all sorted. I'm trying to find the sweet spot between looking good and driving well

Thanks, I tried to find pics of one with them and had no luck. I thought all of the polish would be too much, but I found a pic of a MK2 GTI that was red and black with them and it just sold them to us. My wife loves them. She said it didn't rub today and we can get in and out of the driveway so it should be set. I'll get some pics after we get it aligned.
