Cheers lads,
Its for my 106 gti, been lowered for a while now, ive had to have a new rear beam fitted to pass its mot, and the new one needs lowering to match the front, looks like its on stilts.
going to give manic motors a call i think, had a browse on there website, prices look well good was expecting it to cost a tad more.
cheers for the replys fellas
