Hi, new here. I've been on reading the tech section for a short while, but I figured since I registered to post already, I should go ahead and introduce myself.
I've got a 2010 VW Jetta SportsWagen. I bought it new, I daily it, racked up 60k miles, yadda yadda.

I've been setting it up more for handling rather than going low, so I went with Koni coilovers, big sway bars, and wide tires (255/40R18's). Problem is, that while the car has gotten quite a bit faster, it's not as usable. Passengers or cargo make my car rub, for example. I decided to order a dedicated fun car last November, a Golf R, and now that it's here, the JSW is about to go through a transformation.

Yes, I know, it needs more low. They both do. I figure by going with air, I can still get good handling but better ride, not to mention better payload capacity since the suspension will compensate for load to maintain ride height. So, while I've learned enough to start shopping for components, I'm still reading, learning, and figuring out exactly how to pull off what I want.
The R, BTW is going on a set of Eibach Multi-Pro R2 coilovers in a couple of weeks.
