It's been a while since I've done any new mods but just this last weekend, I finally did my suspension.
Got H&R Ultra Low Coilovers, & an H&R 24mm rear sway bar.
I'm VERY happy with the drop. The stance is GREAT. Had some rubbing issues, which you will see below, but I had those fixed.
Thanks to Adam's Rotors, AR Garage, Adam Woodhams, & Sam Williams for the install/advice!!!
Even did the needle swipe VAG on the car in the process.

Stance
So this was all done Saturday. I drove the car a few times Sunday with 2 different people in it, at different times. I had a little rub, but nothing crazy. Monday morning, I went to get coffee with my friend riding in the passenger seat. Made a u-turn and felt more rub than the day before. Immediately after the u-turn, tried to turn into a driveway with the passenger side wheel going in at an angle first. Heard a very loud and nasty sound. Parked, got out of the car, and saw this horrific sight:
NOT GOOD. I should've had the fenders rolled before doing all of this. Anyway, went to a DOPE shop called Sonic Motorsports in Santa Clara, CA. Guy named Calvin helped me out, even squeezed me in for an appointment the SAME DAY. $65 each fender. Looks brand new, and is tucked so far in that I haven't had ANY rub whatsoever since the work was done.
Next up: Stretch & Poke. Full turbo-back exhaust.
