Lowering my b3 90
So I already did the coil over conversion a year or so ago with bilstien shocks. I am at the limit for lowering it with those and want to know what my options are. Do the mk1 vw shocks fit in the tubes with just shortening them. And what would I use for the rear?
Re: Lowering my b3 90
I used koni adjustable inserts for a mkii golf/jetta front and rear on my 4000. I believe you have to shorten the housings 1 1/4". 
I could lay the subframes on the ground with this setup if I wanted to.

Re: Lowering my b3 90
So, where does one find some good inserts? Would the mk2/3 ones work on a B3 90?
I'm putting together a coilover kit now. I have konis in there now but thinking up upgrading to something adjustable. the car is light. Has a 1.8T and partially gutted. Planning on running a 350lb spring all around.

Re: Lowering my b3 90
also anyone know the "id" measurement of the necked down strut tubes? I know the od is 50mm but I cant find my notes on what the id was
