This is my first mod to this car which has been giving me trouble since I bought it used about 2 years ago. I've been spending all my money just trying to maintain it. But after taking it to a shop and finding out that everything was in good working condition, that was the green light to start spending my earnings on some mods.

First thing I wanted to do was lower this 4x4 because I had to use a ladder to get into this car.

I wanted to do a DIY and started taking pictures, but then, I just wanted to get the mod over with and get to sleep. I started at 8pm, (which was a bad idea in the first place, but its hot in riverside, and had to wait for the night winds). So me and a good friend of mine banged it out and around 12am, we got it done. Here are some pics. I'll get better pics soon cause the night shots are a little too dark.

So here it goes...2 guys and a 12 pack, installing some tein coilovers. (Would have went with better coilovers, but I just ordered some wheels and tires, so they will do for now).

looking good man

 

Very nice.. just be carefull about front fenders. Make sure it does not touch to tire.

 

what wheels?

 

lookin' good. get those wheels on there

 

I got the 19x8.5 Luff M1's w/ 32 offset.

I gotta see just how much adjustment to my coilovers I gotta make so there wont be any rub.

Here they are, I was going to sell'em, (already posted on the classifieds for $1300) just cause I think the roads in California are too rough to have rubberbands on for these wheels (235/35/19)...and they dont make these as 18's. But everytime I open that box up, I just fall inlove with'em over and over. So I think I just might keep them if nobody wants to buy'em.

Honestly dude, I almost bought those wheels...and I say you should definately keep them and put them on. I love the way they look. Keep 'em !!!

Just realized that you have a B5 heh, . 19's don't look bad on them, but 18's would look better. If you had a B6, I would definately say keep them. It's your choice tho!

 

So...how does she ride? Rough, softer thsan stock, details details because I'mtryin' to decide if i want coilovers are just strut/srping set up.

 

The ride is fine. They are just the Basic Damper Kits, and honestly, I like'em. I couldnt really tell the difference between stock suspension and these coilovers, although, I can feel that I am a lot lower.

 

How's she CORNER.....that's the real question!
