Ride Height and Wheel Travel

First step in a closer look at the MQB suspension geometry

Edited 2/2/24: Added actual lowering amounts from the 034 springs. Fortunately they were less drop than advertised (1.1in/28mm is probably more accurate for a non-PP car?).

This will be the first main part of a few videos regarding the MK7 suspension geometry, starting with ride heights and the resulting bump and droop travel. This will set the stage for the next couple topics: the camber curve and bump steer. Here’s the intro to the playlist to get an idea of what we’ll be covering in the next few weeks as well:
