I'm doing this to go with the rally like them these cars had from the factory. 1st I made strut spacers, shock spacers and rear spring spacers out of hdpe. Filled the extra space from the strut mounts with silicone. Then I went for a drive 1.5" higher and I felt like I was going to blow over...

Anyone have a B5 V6 engine lifting bracket laying around?? It's not available as a replacement part and has no part #s. I have the one that came on the front Drivers side, but there isn't one on the rear of the Passenger side head. It's the same part for both locations. There is on for sale on...

Hi guys, This may sound stupid, but is there any way to drop the oil pan without having to raise the engine? I don't have access to a crane. Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I'm a newbee to this forum and like it. I just got a 98 passat wagon with only 40k miles on it and want to do what I can to protect it from the dangers of hawaii's northshore dirtroads. I've been looking and looking to find information about ways to lift it a bit or different tires...
