Some pics of the 19's i put on the 36:

Still in two minds about lowering it as the 19's has raised the OEM height by roughly 15mm even though i went with 235/35.19.

H&R do springs with 25mm lowering but its too much hopefully eibach or kw do a 15mm drop or i could leave it what do you think?

Car looks sweet, but if it were up to me (older, mature male) I would leave the ride height for more comfort.

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

Bravo!
The rims really keep in line with the Euro theme of the car IMO.

As for the ride height, I'd only drop it the 15mm if possible - It'll still look smart rather than over the top

Thanks the rims are off a Lamborghini Gallardo they fit perfectly! Only 10kgs per rim!

i rodered some KW springs from Germany which will give me a 20mm drop.

This was the least lowest i could find as all the other brands gave 25mm at least

I'm really hoping the OEM trend catches on in oz some more, love seeing Porsche/lambo rolling stock on VW's and Audi's

Nice choice mate... the Lowering will only improve the looks now. If it were me... id be going as low as i could!
