Wheels and a Mild Drop. - My MK6 Jetta TDI Build Thread

[ripNdip]

I liked where this build was headed right up until the point that you elected to swap the coilovers out for bags. I'm just a firm believe of static drops.

However, I think the car as a whole looks great. And the fact that you got those wheels for $89/pop (that's less than I paid for my 16" XXR's! ) is truly awesome.

coilovers just dont go low on the new jettas. i waited for a long time hoping fks would come out because i was determined to stay static... but they never did and now ive got bags for mine also haha

So awesome, I love the shock testing log.

I was reading through the first post, and after the coils I was thinking "yeah, it really need air to pull those wheels off". Then BAM! You come through for me.

Tank looks ridiculous as well (in a good way).

Thanks. Here's the original rendering for the concept of the tank design.



Drew is killing it!!

As for color, I've considered color matching white. However, today me and a friend were kicking around the idea of copper on the wheels. Just something to go with what's going to be in the trunk.

If you took the dead strippers out of the trunk it would ride much nicer!

LMFAO Nick!

For the record, they're escorts, not strippers.

Installed a ShockLog in my trunk today to monitor bumps during my trip to lunch to see how rough the coil overs are. The most severe was 22.10G.



I plan on doing the same test on the same roads once I'm bagged to see the improvement.

haven't seen one of these done yet. Looks good!

I just realized that I never listed the future plans.

Future Plans:

• Air Suspension (Obviously. Coming the last week of November.)
• New Wheels (When I can make up my mind.)
• Retrofit projectors into OEM headlights. With 6000k HIDs.
• Carry the air suspension trunk theme into the engine bay.
• Paint the roof black.
• Add subwoofer to the factory head unit. With a fiberglass sub enclosure and amp rack with the same trunk theme.
• Votex lip kit.
• Considering changing up the VW emblem color.
• Shave the trunk emblem.
• Reupholster the headliner and pillars.
• Swap a MK5 Jetta rear suspension to bring the rear down more. (This will be further down the line.)
• e-Level (eventually)
• Chip. (When more options become available.)
• Add a few painted pieces on the interior.

I think that's all of the plans at this point.

Awesome build! I usually **** VW's but started to like them after driving that TDI. Can't wait to see more progress.
