Checked it 2 days ago and it was slightly lower than minimum. Im not aware of any leaks i have because theres never a spot under where i park or anything. Hav...

couldn't you just tape off where the part will be shining through? Like if you just plan on using the number part of the AFR, you could just sand a rectangle the size of the screen.

...unless i didn't comprehend what you meant. if thats the case, ignore my comment lol

For turbo'd folks: Did you upgrade your brakes??

So for all of you that have turboed your car, did you upgrade your brakes at all as well?? Or will stock brakes hold up just fine? I wanna get a few mor...

yank the black door moldings off the doors, paint the grille trim pieces red, get some red door handles, and then get a lip kit. Most of that would be pretty cheap and really make the car look a lot better. looks a lot better lowered. Id take the moldings off but my paint is REALLY faded. I debadge...

Picture looks slightly off cause my driveway isnt very flat haha Hopefully get some better pictures soon http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb63/metalica170/car...

The ride is pretty good, although the only thing i can compare it to is my friend's GTI with Vogtland springs in it. It definitely rides smoother than his car. Compared to stock, its obviously a little bouncier but nothing too bad. I can go probably 3 more inches if i wanted to. I'll give ya an exac...
