    Im running the same sizes you mention (9,5x18" ET30 - 215/35-18 all round) on my B5. My KW v2 is bottomed out in the back and I've got 1cm left in front...

    If you're planning 35 profile tyre with some low to it, well, the B5 will be just silly low under. Mines almost undrivable at norwegian roads...

    If you ask me, static ftw!
    Handles alot better, feels much firmer, but the downside is that you cant drive eeeeverywhere.

    And yes, I use mine daily.

    With the extra money you would of used on air would also be enough to do whatever else you want... Such as K04's
    How about no. I drove that car, it rode like absolute dick, the spring rates sucked, ask him how many oil pans he went through as well.

    Recommending VMAXX is like recommending you have sex with someone you know has AIDS, sure you enjoy at the time, but you're coming out with AIDS.

    It depends on what's more important to you. Some guys take a lot of pride in being stupid low without air, and I have a lot of respect for those dudes that pull it off. If you want to worry less about destroying an oil pain, getting stuck, not being able to get to Taco Bell, etc... Then go air. If you can live with the hassles and want to be able to say you're a complete savage, then go with coils.

    Air is the only way you will be able to do that, and still have an oil pan.

    Air or Static?

    I need some help here deciding if I want to fork out the money to go air or just go the cheap route and get coils and slam it on its nuts? I will be running 18x9.5 wheels all around with 215/35/18 tires. What do you guys say?

    Here is a pic of the car as of right now.


    And a pic of the height I want to be at.


    And a tiny bit more poke then this.


    TIA guys!
