Not to sound like a total newb. But I can't find the weight per tire slit up in percentages. If that makes sence. Like thrid gen rx7 is a perfect 50/50. I can find anything like that for mk3 jetta. I'm curios cuz my coils are just low. And I'm wondering what would be the best ride heights (front and back) for the greatest handling. Any info or links would be great. Thanks.

I believe that the best ride hieght would be where your lower control arms are parallel to the ground.

Yup get the front LCA's parallel then match the rear in height. You won't be able to determine corner weight without a set of scales. Think you'll be dissapointed though, most VW's don't need to go any lower if at all from stock height.

And that's when you wake up and walk outside see your honda ricer pos and relize you have no friends lol

x2 on the control arms being parallel.....thats how mine is set up in the front and its a slight bit higher in the rear....its a nice smooth ride.....and it handles pretty well...not the best...but handles pretty well..

Any pics. How far does the put the front end off the ground?

dude, you asked the question, you got the right answer. Do you just want someone to show up and do the work for you too? Experiment and find out yourself, it's not that hard. If you're afraid of screwing it up then maybe you shouldn't even be working on your own car. If in the end you decide you want to go for looks instead of performance then go back and be happy with your decision. If you didn't read above let me repeat: You will not be much lower than stock if at all.
