soooo?


easy queston

or the wheel arches should be smaller?

Both

Ditto

Definately lowered! Just picked mine up on the 2nd and thats the first thing my dad said when I popped round to show him.

Stilts as standard!

Yes. At least 70mm

This.

Both, absolutely. It seems to look much better with 19" or even 20" wheels, AND lowered a bit.

No brainer.

I added a poll.

Yes I think it could easily sit 3-4cm lower with the arches designed to fit that curve better.

I guess they played the compromise game between ride and handling but other VWs in the range seem to sit lower without any problem.

They probably wanted it to appeal to EVERYONE. Typical

Cos I think you went a little bit toooooo low

It's all to do with the aesthetics of the shape of the wheel and how the wheel arch follows that shape. If you go too far the shapes go out of 'sync' and it looks wrong.

I voted no, IMO VW have got it about right.

The ground clearance isn't as high as you'd think by the looks of the stock 'rocco, so I wouldn't lower the car stock car by much. The wheel arches are the real problem. I think the stock 'rocco should be equipped with VW's own lowering springs (by Eibach, ~20 mm lowering), since they make the wheel arch gap to be about the same in each direction. To me the car doesn't even look lowered with those springs, it looks stock - and in my eyes the stock 'rocco now looks like it's got a bad road package.

I saw a roc that was lowered I thought it made the car look really fat and kind of spoilt its lines :s

QFT :-)

Should be easy 50mm lower at least out of the box.

I'm jealous of mk6 Golf owners, it's arches make it soooo much easier to lower the car practically.

There's no point arguing the low debate.
One mans low is another mans ridiculous.
And one mans ride height is another mans joke.
