If you're not grindin'....

That'll probaly be my second mod after wheels and tires:Coilovers.

SlickShift · 01-15-2008, 02:48 PM

So is there just going to be H&R springs or are they going to release a cupkit for the 1er?

SpeedFrq · 01-20-2008, 03:40 PM

I havent owned a car that I haven't lowered!

Wont bother with springs - will wait for coils

I have H&R race springs and Koni yellows on my E46. I pretty much scrape up my front everywhere I go, I have to park 3-5 inches away from parking curbs, and I can barely get my foot under the front.

As much as I like it, and it looks sick as hell, I do not think I will be lowering the 1. Then again if it looks horrible and has a good amount of wheel gap, then maybe we will go with some Coilovers.

BForbes · 01-21-2008, 12:43 PM

Trust me^^ The one needs a drop. Ya gotta love polling. There is an even split at yes and no for dropping...hehe

I think a lot of people will keep it stock for a few months...there is something to be said about getting used to the way your car looks and wanting to make it look better.....take that into consideration when looking at the votes

depends on how hard it is to get into my driveway

me too, coils were a waste of money on my car now so Im just going to skip them on the 1 and go straight to coils

Lowering our 1er FTW!!!

pumaknight · 02-06-2008, 03:36 AM

I think it looks good on stock springs, but the piccies of the black lowered car have me rocking with thoughts....do I, don't I???

eunosracr · 02-06-2008, 08:55 AM

These pics make me glad that I have a set of H&R sports sitting in the guest room.

mjovic · 02-08-2008, 11:34 PM

I have my GTI lowered about 2 inches on a set of KW coilovers. Let me just say that I L-O-V-E the ride. Not too harsh, definitely not too soft! Just right! I would recommend KW, very high quality and great balanced ride. Here's a pic:

BForbes · 02-09-2008, 08:57 AM

Wow, that does look quite nice!!

mateo · 02-09-2008, 02:25 PM

All US VW's need to be lowered.

The owner of the car states he has KW v2 coilovers on it.

It will be the wife's car but it will be dropped. I have a slightly modified Mini cooper :biggrin: that needs a friend.

Coming from the VW community I don't know if I could resist not lowering it. My H&R coils on my GTI significantly improved the looks and handling without sacrificing too much in comfort or driveability.
