Lowering - Recon axle? Newbie questions

[Dazecoop]

thought my ears were burning

I can build you a beam with new oem parts, ive rectified a few axle direct and im axle axles in my time, poor parts etc. Im not trying to big my self up its just so common now. A beam at £200 will be full of cheap Chinese parts i have even found their supplier! Theres a few guys i have built axles for now on here all seem to be happy.

My post is on here somewhere and will tell you everything you need to know

Ah really? Ok that's cool, thanks for replying! I don't think there is actually anything wrong with my current beam, so my thoughts so far is just to lower it. However, I'm going to my resident friendly mechanic / mate of mine in a week's time to give my car a look over, then I can go from there! But thanks, I will certainly bare that in mind!

How low did you want to go? I have a spare GTi beam here that's fairly low. I can do fitting for you and you could pick up that front bumper while you're here.

From looking at photos of lowered 306's, I was thinking around 60mm? I think I am going to go with coilovers (cheap ones), so I don't ruin my standard shocks with using 60mm lowering springs. How low is the beam you have? That does sound very tempting!
