**Added pictures**

Stance for 2011...

Running cheap JOM coils hacked up...
-no helper springs in the front (coils all the way down)
-only spring in the rear

500whp drive axle to deal with the binding...
(blew 6 oem axles in 6 weeks)

notch frame for pass. axle to clear

All poly bushings

Euro image 1" motor mount spacers

And its still not low enough...

See the reason for the frame notch...

Lowest point.

Thank God for the motor mount spacers. LOOK @ that oil-pan clearance!!

looks sick...but 500whp you must be running boosted 24v??

sillyeye · 06-25-2011, 03:13 PM

Looks cool, not really worth all the hassle though in my opinion.

02vwgolf · 06-25-2011, 03:20 PM

Cool to look at, but I cannot imagine why needing power or using it unless your on a tarmac that is baby bottom smooth.

surprisingly the ride isn't that bad... sure its a little stiff but as far as clearance and getting in and out of places around town i couldn't be more happy... its pretty much amphibious ha... but no its not exactly set up for speed. The car will never see over 300whp and it will alz be N/A.

Everything is always for sale... shoot me an offer. I've been toying with the thought of changing my wheel set-up anyways.

Some 19"s look alright... it all depends.

If this was a Honda it would be a flame fest in here.. Regardless, I know not a lot of people like this look but I'm a fan! Looks good man!

goo4you · 06-26-2011, 07:09 PM

not really a fan of mk4's so much but you gotta give him credit its a 24 valve 6 speed.... not too common and its static drop. i drive the car all the time and the ride is stiff but phenomenal. excellent cornering. excellent drive-ability. plus it looks sick. cant really go much lower. Then you'll have to start and excavating business then... haha. cant wait till the mk3 is done dude!

WHY??? I never understood the point of putting staggered wheels on a fwd car.

Even if it was a Honda I would still think it looks like crap.

Agree on all 3. It reminds me of "its a jeep thing" only dumber.

Sorry dude but I'm playing my Mr. Horse card. "No sir, I don't like it".
