st200 struts

[newb]

ok looking through the stickies it says that these st200 struts, for the MK3 i assume, has a 1" lower spring perch, this means it'll lower my car 1" correct? anyone done this? opinions? options?

doesn't really matter because you can't get them anymore.

and no, the perch isn't any lower then stock.

then someone needs to change the suspension faqs then

if you dig back through the archives there was much talk about the perch being lower. I di need to coonfirm against stock struts but both my cars, one with BAT struts and H&R spring and one with ST200 struts and H&R springs have the same ride height.

yes the faq might need to be updated, but its a mute point because the struts are no longer available.

There's also a lot of discussion about how much the strut contributes to ride height if the perch is not moved. Generally it is the spring that dictates ride height.
