Will they even fit?

love your jetta!

Cheers man! It sits a little higher than I'd like it too but minimal clearance combined with our roads means you have to be careful. Plus the authorities don't like it too much. I will be going a little lower in that soon just need to roll the inner fender in the back so it stops cutting into my tyre

What coils do you have? BC offers an "extreme-low" which replaces your springs and shortens the entire body but if your not on BC's alot of people just start removing the collars which means you won't be able to (safely) raise it up again without new collars but it does give you some extra lowness.

Search around on WrongFitmentCrew, and specifically this thread and they will have the answer or be able to answer any questions you have.

I've got D2's. When I first put them in I thought I had another 30-40mm left to turn them down but because the whole unit winds into the bottom mount it only goes so far in. A shorter set up would work but really don't want to spend much money on this car, once I've got a tyre and camber it will still look all good. And at least I maintain full suspension travel as the spring adjustment is entirely separate from the height adjustment.

I might have a look through though to see what others have done.

Where are you from? In NZ they are so common, literally can't go out on the road without seeing one. Got to say though awesome fun. 280BHP twin turbo from factory. Mine's had most of the exhaust cut out and replaced with straight pipe because of when it got stolen. So it backfires/pops when you engine break and sounds pretty ridiculous. If I can borrow a gopro or something I should upload a pic. Its pretty fricken quick I'll say that.

heres my old BE legacy, the megan rear camber kit is your best bet. but i have heard of some people getting rear camber bolts from a 08+ wrx since they are suppose to have similar suspension setup but idk. Do make sure you cut your rear bump stop. cant find any rear pic of my camber this is the best i got

Nice man! I used to have a BE twin turbo. I was going to drop it on BC's and some 18x8.5s ages ago but I sold it before anything happened. What are your wheel specs with the RPF1s? Any links to the megan kit? did it affect your toe on the rear at all?

In NZ we don't have megan branded things.

[hallowpoint]

yes rpf1s, my specs are 18x9.5 +33 with 215/35/18 tires. i dont have a link to them but think someone left it on the first page. I didnt run them, this is just natural camber from lowering

What coil overs are you on? Do you still have this car?
How much guard work did you do?

[hallowpoint]

Im in the process of selling the car, its on ISC coils. Rears are just about maxed out, i didnt even roll the rears just worked it a little with a hammer. With your set up you your wheels will only poke a few more mm then mine, and should be able to make it work. I never had rubbing issues with 215/35's as you can see in the pic i still have plenty of room. with a roll/ slight pull you'll be fine.
Just dont do this! his fenders look like shit!!!!

This wagon is actually what made me realise it should work! It's hard to tell though really until I have a tyre on the rim and set it on the ground. They seem to poke an awful lot. I got two free tyres off another forum one is really worn but the other seems to be in good nick. Gonna get one fitted up so I can trial it and see if I'll get that size tyre or not. It's a nankang NSII 215/40R18. Only for trial purposes anyway. I'll be getting really cheap tyres

[stancedless]

So, got a tyre fitted, bit of a bubble fitment =( but getting a 205 is too expensive. thinking 215/35 instead of the 40. However I have had something else come up. A set of genuine works have come up for sale and at a more comfortable offset which I could work with and then use spacers instead. This way I can have a more flush fitment, not run as much camber but still have an 18x9 wheel.

Some pics of trial fitting:








The thing is when I look from the back and picture the camber, the wheels still sit out funny and not enough of the wheel is in the arch. The camber arms will be expensive and require certification so I could spend either $1000 making these wheels fit and legal or sell these wheels and spend $500 more, end up with a more flush fitment and have REAL wheels

2nd option fo sho, love the wagon such a cool chasis. These cars have great personality.

Na man I live in Mt Wellington. Damn certs! I can understand needing them for some things but for suspension? its bolt in no modifications needed. I think as long as it meets safety standards a suspension part shouldn't need certification
