Re: Cptnslw

Air ride may do very well in corners, but as i've mentioned, to achieve that, you need to put in hours of research on getting the proper setup, and spend a sh!t ton more money to purchase it. Posting a video praising a product when the video is made by the company selling the product is easy to do. Go out and find some real life testimony from people who have driven their bagged cars hard around corners and see what they say. For the budget that most people can afford to go air ride with, most of them would ditch it if they wanted to drive their cars hard and go with a good set of coilovers

forget it.

No, I didn't. Judging by the Vortex thread that I read on, the stock R shocks can handle a lower geometry and only had higher springs due to North American laws or something like that.

The H&R sport springs are made to work with the stock struts. My buddy Eddy has had them on his R for a couple months now and it rides great.

Dang, that's nice. Save some money there. What else you got planned?

Re: Cptnslw

I'm planning for a turboback exhaust and interior stuff but not till 2014. I'm possibly going to Asia this year so I'm saving up moolah.

Re: Cptnslw

This one is just a reminder for myself. Through VAG-COM, you can activate the following (just have to figure out how):

Emergency braking

Puddle lights

Took a quick cell phone pic of my puddle lights after installing the last door:

Also coded my car so that the DRL LED's stay full bright with running lights enabled. Woot!:thumbup:

The great part is that the ride is still OEM-quality. Loving it!

A little shipping error at Tunerworks delayed my wheel stud conversation but Jay was able to accommodate me for the time being.

Picking up blue Volk decals from Tyler (VW337) on the May meet!

Why thanks! I do like to keep things clean.

Any comment on whether to go blue or stick with red decals? I'm actually contemplating on whether to do the stud conversion... It's looking mighty clean with the bolts.
