Title: Lowering a Rabbit
Post by: tattooedrabbit on August 04, 2009, 06:27:16 pm

I just bought what i believe to be a MK I 1979 Rabbit Diesel C This is my first rabbit and i am just wondering how low i can lower it and where to get the kit

Are you on vortex? That's probably a much better place to find out how low you can get a rabbit. I'd guess you're looking at coilovers perhaps camber plates but I don't know which would be the lowest.

dude,
very simple:
Stock size tires and coilovers.
As low as you please!
Heres a cheap set on eBay that will be better than anything else even close to that money...

Just mind the oil pan, it is the dangling member of a vw...

Also camber plates will help you better dial in your suspension (camber specifically)
but do not affect ride height.

Everyone should have the pleasure of driving a slammed diesel dub!

Check the last 10 or more pages of this thread:

The first pages are old and all the pic links are broken.
