The boys are dedicated. They're heading down in a MK6 Golf TDI, Unitronic chipped, on bags. I believe his car will be in the UNI show area.

I'm wondering how hard it's going to be to drop the subframe. I have read up on it, seems like more than I can tackle at my apartment complex.

I just got my front SPM done today. Was too much for me to handle on my own so I had it done at a shop. The guy is a professional and when I dropped off the car said these can take up to 2 1/2 hours to install.

I understand that, it's more a question of ability as a mechanic to do this job that I'm trying to evaluate. It seems straight forward enough, and I'll need an alignment afterwards.

It really is. The alignment is the only thing I get done third party.

Yeah, I'll goto the dealer. From the other thread they are reasonably priced. I was expecting $150+

Holy smokes. Finally found the cabin. In the dark. After driving around for about an hour.
