You have a pretty rare .:R

Yours seems to be the only one that came with a lift kit.

Sounds like a dare to me Rob... do it!!


After you see mine on the weekend, you'll be sold on the idea for sure.

No worries... the longer you wait... the stronger the loonie gets.
P.S. My .:R is an eBay car too!

If you buy spacers without bolts, where can you buy the bolts =P?

Concept1 sells them. You can probably get them a number of other places too. Just make sure you get the right lug diameter, seat type and of course, length. Length should be original bolt length + spacer width = new bolt length. Cheers...

Re: Decided it was time to go WIDE.

Me thinks I might have solved this "lift kit" problem I've been having on my .:R courtesy of a package from Germany.

Nice Deuce! I had a similar box too, but mine no longer has yellow & purple parts in it

Re: Decided it was time to go WIDE.

Awesome! Tell me how the KW work out! Was it big shipping fees?

Re: Decided it was time to go WIDE.

Nice job Rob! Forgive my ignorance however are those V2's or V3's? Regardless, great choice in suspension.

They are the V2's. Figured the upgrade was worth it over the V1's in order to get the rebound dampening adjustment so that I can play with the pitch/roll characteristics of the .:R. Took a brief look at the V3's however, they seemed to be overkill for just street use. Besides, with all those adjustments... I'm not sure I'd have a clue what I was doing!

Hopefully the setup works good. I've heard a ton of great things about the PSS9's. Figured I'd try out the KW's though for my virgin coilover setup. I guess we'll see very soon... anticipated install should occur in the next week or two.

Not sure what shipping was to be exact. Ordered everything from Tunerworks as I was having trouble sourcing the control arms and didn't mind paying a bit extra for Tunerworks to take care of everything. Based on Tirerack... looks like the shipping/brokerage fees would run about $100 CAD for the coilovers alone.

Anyhow, will post up install pics when available.

PS. What do you coilover guys do with your stock suspension bits? Keep them in the garage for potential "swap-back-ability"? I would sell mine but not sure how useful an .:R setup is for any of the other VW models?

PS. C-Turbo. What happened to your colored parts?
