looks great

congrats :thumbup:

btw.. did you install springs only? ... aren't you worry about killing your shocks?

 

Yep Springs only, i know im gonna kill my shocks.... that gives me an excuse to buy coilovers later on lol. they are Neuspeed Sports

 

lookin good!

 

looks great, it feels better down there doesnt it i have a feeling youll be getting those coilovers sooner than you expect. ....bump.... bobble bobble bobble bobble

 

now you need spacers oke: :lol:

 

congrats on the drop does. looks way much better than the T-Reg look

 

Hehehe, I was one of the guys that helped him out.

Being a MkIV biatch, I'm gonna have to say that installing these things was a royal PITA. You guys have too much stuff to disassemble under the front of your beasts

Anyways, it looks good and glad to help out a fellow VW brother

Cam, post up pics u took of my spacers today, or send em to me

 

noice

 

the drop looks sweet with those wheels man.

 

Thanks A lot everybody. I'd love to get coilovers but its a money thing since im in college... i just couldn't wait to get her down. For now she rides as good as stock, maybe a little more bumpy on rougher roads, but not much. and yep, i need spacers now, lol especially in the rear.

 

That looks really awesome. If you could scrounge up the cash to get your lowers painted, it would be REALLY good looking. Good work!

LOL, that's my next project, cept i wanna get a front lip and a rear valence, i guess i could do w/out the rear valence for a while. Im just afraid it will crack b/c i haven't found a good body shop around here yet to do it. Thanks for the feedback guys.:thumbup:

 

Seriously, with your post count, it's about bloody time!
I've been rolling stock shocks and Neuspeed sports for about 40K now. My shocks are shot. S_Klass is going to be getting a PM in April I think

 

Don't worry too much over the shocks. I'm lowered about 0.75" for 45K miles on the stock shocks, with no sign of them blowing out yet. Rats.

 

hahahaha, awesome, yea i know i shoulda been down a long time ago, but hey, im 19 and in college, money goes to a lot of places, lol.

haha, Nice. The only real reason i want coilovers is so that i can get a really mean rake. like i want the front to be almost on the ground and the rear to be where it is now w/ the Sports.

You must drive nice I feel like I'm riding on a wet sponge :biglaugh:

Stranded, I owned an '85 Civic in college...that car sucked, now my money goes to my house...just wait...there's even MORE place it can go :biglaugh:

 

hahahaha, don't tell me that. Im keeping my car after i graduate... my graduation present WILL BE a PES Supercharger kit..... that or a W8 swap hehehehe

 

Cam, it's about time you got your baby lowered. Only the springs huh? Now I'm thinking I might just go with springs and get aftermarket shocks later when my stocks go bad. I love the way your car looks now. :thumbup:

LOL.... I think my Nuespeed sports are LOW enough. I can't imagine going lower, I don't think I'd have a front end anymore. But I will say, driving a lowered car in a warmer climate is easier. I've only had my Passat in Las Vegas 24hrs, and I can already tell how much better the roads are than Michigan. Plus I don't have to deal with snow! The only thing I'll have to worry about is some dead animal in the road or a big rock.

hahaha, Thanks man, if you wanna do it lemme know. I know how to do it now. It is a pain in the ass for the front, but do-able. It took us 3 hours on my Front Passenger only cuz we didn't know what the hell we were doing, and then we had to go buy REAL spring compressors, lol. The drivers side front took about an hour. The back takes about 20 mins total.

The roads here in FL aren't that bad, but since we do get some nasty weather here and there some roads can be bumpy.

Most of the roads in the Orlando metro are in pretty good shape. I can't really think of many roads that havent' been resurfaced within the last 6 or 7 years.

 

I can only imagine how happy you are Cam, I am happy for you. It brought a tear to my eye to see your car dropped!

Your very welcome for the springs, I am very happy I could help you out.

Your buddy

Same here. About 30K on OEM shocks and Eibach springs.
