The short ones at 160mm where fouling so need longer length ones ...prosport do a pair that have plenty of scope to do this .Yup that's fairly extreme
For info mine is wound all the way to the top! 30mm all round.
I went for basic shorter drop links. You getting Meyer or something else? What benefit do you get from adjustable drop links is it just about ride quality?
Pro sport drop links......The short ones at 160mm where fouling so need longer length ones ...prosport do a pair that have plenty of scope to do this .
As i say ive still to play with the height settings .. ive not driving it yet , hope to get it back from the garage tomorrow......
Are you running Prosport as well.?

My mechanic advised they were too short and would foul the chassis when connected and originals too long .Yup I am but then are you getting fouling due to the lower ride height or is it irrelevant?

That could be the contact he mentioned to me when the drop link touches the chassis under load ?Just picking up on this - I'm sure the mechanic I got to do my pro sport coilovers install never mentioned any issue with the 160mm drop links I bought.
Saying that though i do get a metallic squeaking noise when i corner hard on heavily cambered roads. Could this be linked?
Cheers Steve.Looking great.
The ine one thing I was unhappy with when I experimented on going really low was that the lower you go the further forward the wheel sits in the wheel arch and with larger tyres they can rub as you hit a bump and they get even further forward.
I was seriously thinking of a small modification to the front mounting points to bring then back slightly so that the wheel sits more central at really low tide heights.
It might be an option but I am loving the low-rider stance on your car.

I will keep you posted on how the car feels after the snow has gone and get a chance to try it out . Hopefully no knocking from the drop links !!Liking the look. Avoiding speed bumps now but god knows what it will be like with that drop.
Looks like I'll need to make the investment in better adjustable drop links then!
I'll add that to my need to fix list
Adjustable droplinks in place......I will keep you posted on how the car feels after the snow has gone and get a chance to try it out . Hopefully no knocking from the drop links !!
I've had various lowered VAG cars so know what to expect .........

Installed new disks, pads and new front calipers. Hopefully my persistent disk warping will now be resolved.
