Default 25 mm lowering

Hey everyone!
I'm about to lower my Rst, BUT..

I'm from Denmark and with 40 mm lowering, my rst can't pass the MOT.. So i Would have to raise it again every second year.. But if i get 25mm lowering it Will just do.

So, i can't decide if i should go with the legal 25mm or if it's to High for my taste :/ i've got 16" azev A's on the car..

I Would love to se alot of pics of the rst with 25mm lowering, hopefully making it easier to decide

25mm is a nice compromise I think. I've had this car lowered 60mm & 40mm and it's much nicer to drive at 25mm.

This is on 16's with a 205/40 profile tyre.

Sorry for the blury phone pic, this was a little over 30mm from standard and I hated it, I don't think rst's look good too low. In the end I went for -20mm rear and event the front out on the coil overs, better in every way than the -30 was so I can imagine -40 would be a bit horrid to drive.

Yours looks higher than standard though?

Rob,

It does look higher than standard.

Are the base model mk4 shocks and springs different, or is it just the springs.
IIRC RST's sit 20-25mm lower than other mk4's?!?

A.t.p your rs looks nice with the limited edition spoilers on the bumpers and the azev's, could do with lowering a bit more.
