If I got the 17"s I would have to lower it but I was speaking to the guy at the auto shop and he said that you cannot get shock absorbers and springs for a 1.4 Golf if it has a anti roll bar fitted.

I dont know what he means by that but I dont know if mine has one fitted. I was thinking of lowering it -40 mm but I would really have to upgrade the shocks as well to improve the handling. I find the golf isnt as good at cornering as the fiesta I used to have when I stiffened the suspension up on that so I figured it must be improved apon.

Here is a little picture of my fiesta mk3 - please dont laugh!!

Thanks!
