I looked around and found plenty of slammed MK1s but 90% of them had no suspension or wheel/tire info. I didn't see a thread that was similar to this so, lets do it and make a huge list w/pics and info.

1985

1985 Volkswagen Cabriolet - Bestseller Trim Edition -Helios Blue

175/70/13 Barum Tires
Oem 5.5x13 Tarantulas
Ta-Technix Blue Coilovers approx 1/3 or thread left
NOT hitting at all on fenders or tierods

My driving style is "Drive it like its stolen" so tire clearance is important, I love that this is VERY low but looks almost stock, you really have to do a double take when its not next to another car.



Next to my recent GTI acquisition which is admittedly riding a bit high on stock shocks.
