WOAH! You definately dont need a 6k drop in a 1/4, thats more for the RX-8, we do a 6k or 7k drop to stay in our power band. I think you should be doing a 3k drop max in that car. The jetta is a 2k drop or i get way too much wheel hop. I dont care what C&D says about that, they dont drive the car as a daily and they dont keep the car so they can abuse it as much as they want.
