so i realized i dont have a post here so here it is. i live in so cal (sf valley), but go to school at san luis obispo so whenever i do come up i work on my car adding new parts and just doing maintenance on it. i got my car about a year ago completely stock. i needed a car with better mpg to get to and from school and didnt want something that suffered on performance and wanted a vw and this passat just kind of fell into my lap. i paid 6000 for it with 45k miles on it. the passat is a 2004 1.8t with a 5 speed.

didnt take me long to start changing things out first came my rims.

car was now looking a little funny with the new rims and sitting like my 4x4 truck, so it was time to get a little lower. so i got eibach lowering springs.

so this is how my car is now will be working on it some more when i get more money. not sure what will be my next mod will either be a bigger turbo or bigger brakes. once i get new tires i will be stretch them a little so i can go lower on the coils. thanks for looking
