My 2004 GTI 1.8t

[The Godfather]

Week 3 of ownership, and some mods

Yes the rear needs to be lower. I know :/ Rear coils are all the way down, rear has maybe 4 more turns... should've downed it all the way. I think I'll remove the rear perch, but that's scary.... I don't want my spring to pop out!

Specs:
Vmaxx coilovers
Toyo Proxes4 225/40/18 rear, 215/40/18 front.
Miro STP-1 18x10 rear, 18x8.5 front.
Blacked out sidemarker.
Clear lensed black fender turn signal repeater.
Shorty antenna.
Photoshopped front license plate holes.



Enjoy:

dont worry about being too low on this forum, were all about the finer thing in life... such as drivability

In all honesty, I think you should lift the front a bit to make it even. The back is a good height. Just my $.02

to tha flo!

[sensinitas]

I think it looks great. But to really get the proper stance, a little lower and it will be perfect!

i think so to

[VicFlo]

im diggin it and dont worry we all feel the need to be lower im tucking in the front and still wanna be lower...

[The Godfather]

ok so since we all agree, how the hell do I make it lower without doing stupid shit like notching my frame and hacking off my sway bar?(no offense to this who do that, that's just not my style :P)

[themandillon]

the rear definitely needs to come down. and if u are 4 threads from the bottom then thats all you can do, except take the perches out. then just make the front to match, at that height you shouldnt need to notch frame or cut swaybars.

I'm all the way down in the rear. I have 3 or 4 threads up front. I think I'll try to take the perches out and match the front.

Any safety issues with perches out?

[themandillon]

Im not really 100% sure either way about the safety with perches out. All i know is that tons of people do it and i havent heard of any problems. Did you already take the helper springs out?

[The Godfather]

No, the helpers are still in....

[SD202]

Very nice. Any performance mods planned ?

[FunkTron]

SHARP!

Where did you get your side repeaters (fender) and side markers (bumper rub strip ones) ?
