   right now then i am going to lower my mk2 vtr
   
   but i want to know
   
   i either want to go 50 or 60 mm
   
   whats the pros and cons of each?
   
   as i know i would need the PAS pipe changing at 60 mm but anything else which would be wrong?
   
   and which kit should i go for i know the apex 50mm is good but which 60?
   
   thanks

   spax best for 60, you only need to bend the pas pipe out the way.
   
   i prefer 60 imo

   well generally, the lower you are the quicker things wear out. suppose alot of people run on quite a while withouit repairing things others dont. Not stopping me going 60 harhar

   Just something to look out for at 60mm is the driveshaft rubbing on the bottom rad hose, not a very common problem, but it does pop up every now and again, I know mine was, and it's just recently split after almost 2 years.

   Go 60mm on a full spax kit (Springs & Dampers) on my 205Gti alloys
