On these alloys, top are Wolfrace, bottom are GTI wheels




Reason I ask is a friend has the Wolfrace going cheap but I was hanging on till a set of GTI's came available to me.....

And I know it would look ALOT better if it was dropped.

Cheers

Of course you will.

Which is why you'll throw a ton of money at that shed, and still be driving it at 25

Wouldn't go lower from experience. My FRST was dropped 50mm and drove badly (springs were in the spares box and they were better than the stock stuff). I changed them to 30mm springs about a fortnight ago and the car is transformed for the better. The turn in is better, the steering has more feel and it also seems to have gained some mechanical grip.
