Re: Where to get Coilovers installed?

Man a 40/35 cup kits sure looks like it gives you a nice stance and nice all year around driving height. I have a 20th AE suspension on mine and that kit looks like it is a bit lower. I think with coils that you are going to change all the time you have to get good quality ones that are guaranteed not to seize and you need to have the tools and a garage to be able to change the height all the time. For me when I went coils I never planed to adjust them, I never got to drive the car in the winter as it was written off though but I think it would have been too low. Has anyone even brought up the fact that even with a skid plate you can still take out an oil pan? Stephan managed to crack his even with a skid plate (without one I bet his engine would have been toast).

Yes i concur. I had a skidplate and i cracked my oilpan. WITH a motor mount spacer....But still the ice chunk would have taken out my whole engine if i did not have the skidplate. The skidplate saved me so much money and grief and i was even able to drive my car home to my garage, it just caused a hairline fracture in the pan.

I fully support skid plates

No offense but we are all trying to help him out by giving him options for what he wants. We are not trying to tell him what to do and what is best. PS Welcome to the forums

just trying to help him out from my experiences, and thanks.

Re: Where to get Coilovers installed?

judging from reading this thread over and over and over, i think that the H&R cup kit is going to be the way to go (whether its the touring or the sport). you and i are basically in the same boat on deciding how to lower our mk4's (no hijack intended). for me and maybe even u, its just a matter of deciding whether the extra 1/2 inch with the sport is going to be worth sacrificing plowing (if any) in winter. I'm new to all this like you, and have many of the same questions. like if there will be any problems if u were to go with the sport. good luck with whatever you decide on going with. personally i think i want to go with the sport haha, seems to me like a fun challenge in the winter.

Small update. Got my stubby antenna yesterday! Big difference visually and better reception then my crusty long antenna.
