        I'm starting to think that I'm going to need nicer wheels if I was to go the valance route... Something tells me super nice valances with stock long beaches don't go too well.

        It would have to be these:

        -36 levels of adjustable dampening
        -Made from high quality 6061 aluminum with T6 for increased hardness
        -Compression/Rebound adjustable
        -Adjustable spring perch for height adjustment
        -Adjustable body allowing maximum suspension travel
        -Monotube high pressure design increases reliability
        -Electroplated body for protection from corrosion and rust
        -One year warranty

              I might be able to squeeze in side skirts with the coils

                  Doesn't matter what wheels you get, drop is a must.

                    Drop.....then wheels........then body pieces.

                    Then again, I'm also a huge fan of what Duby T posted above. There are a bunch of hella clean Jettas in town that are just dropped on LB's with spacers. Yum Yum.

                      I have quite a few things planned for it but nothing overboard. The MK4 Jetta still keeps me entertained so at this moment selling it is definitely a no-go (although I've had my moments). There's a lot of things with the car that make me .

                      I have the drop but not the adjustable kind. I was going to upgrade after a year but the coils are on for a good deal at this moment so Im rethinking tackling the suspension again.

                      Yeah the drop I have doesn't quite satisfy me. Although it's performed SUPER well.

                      Im just having a hard time deciding what to do next.

                      Here's the plan
                      1. Aesthetics (so wheels and valances). Poser right DJ (I will never pull as hard as your dezlbeast)
                      or
                      1. Suspension (rebuild the mounts/bearings a bit more/again)
                      2. Turbo/engine/lsd work.
                      3. If at that point I still want to keep the car then working on the little details like the engine bay/interior changes.
                      4. And if then I still like this car Bodywork/repair

                        Curious as to which valences you are looking at? Overall theme?

                              The Heating elements are part of the seat cover and are not removable, you would need an additional heating element.
