Default Looking for pictures/opinions of TT's with H&R Coilovers

I just purchased a H&R coilover kit for my 225QC, and was trying to find pictures and opinions from people who have the setup on their cars. I also would like to know how low can I go before running into clearance problems? I'm looking for a real aggressive stance without over doing it. So if anyone can help me out it will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Gary

Default I have H&R coilovers (with Mk III rear springs), but....

no pictures. I did not change the ride height from standard. The TT already has minimal ground clearance imo and I didn't want to lower it at all.

The H&Rs give me MUCH better ride and handling.

Default Pretty much agree with "Lloyd"...

I have lowered my TT a fair amount. Harsher ride, but handling is far improved. Don't complain when you feel the bumps though. Rear camber may be excessive. If so, you can slot it for about $100 and get it back to spec.

I've owned all 3 revisions of the rear springs, and I can tell you that the 3rd generation rear springs are the best.

Default Brad, I'm still working on my solution to the camber issue....

After "fiddling" with adjustable control arms, I may adopt your solution of slotting: it looks like an elegant an inexpensive solution.

My Mk III rears have settled to just less than -3 degrees. I could live with that but I really want to get it back to -1 or thereabouts.
