    Cutting a coil or two off your springs won't hurt. Just an easier way to get lower.

      Cut your coils, don't mount skid plates with zip ties. Looks like a good start. Clean interior too.

        That was just a mockup and I will be cutting them in the spring.
        Just lower it.

          I don't know about the sign skid plate. Other than that, nice vehicle. I like alpine white lots.

              Put the rear springs and drop hats in... Thinking about getting salad shooters and wobble bolts. Also I am getting a 3.73 LSD tomorrow afternoon.



              Also cut some springs for an 09 TDI (yes I know they are progressive they were run on the car, just needed to get the tophat off)

              Just lower it.

                So I was going to mount the contours again to see what it all looks like on Friday, when i got a call from a buddy of mine that bought the blue wrx off another friend of mine asking if I could fix his car after he crashed... He was lucky he didn't bend his control arm....



                Then I got an AFR setup for free:



                And picked up these to clean up for a friend of mine:

                  Putting the stock springs back in and cutting them, only the front, I like the rear height right now. I was thinking if starting with two then moving have a coil at a time after that. Pictures will come later!

                    So it's done, but it's not low enough:/ ended up cutting the front spring in half.





                    Just lower it.

                          Yeah I am building some, I took out my spax to sell them so I can get koni shocks to build front coilovers

                              New wheels, $100 not bad. 16x8 et23 and going to run my 20mm spacers. Any suggestions on what tires I should run?

                                Started to sandblast the wheels and it was taking forever so I used aircraft remover and it got a good chunk out and softened it all up, now I just have to resandblast them to get it all the way down and prep for paint!
