My new 1.8t

well my guy told me 100 for install, but idk where he went. I think he went on vaca (mentioned it to me but i forgot when in april he was going) and im hoping to have them in for sunday. So if he is on vaca i dont wanna wait :(

20-25$ a tire is normal, should be able to find somone else to do it for that

i cant man :( these damn people want like 250 :/

I was told $200 at APH ... plus an alignment somewhere else since they don't do that in-house.

That's not bad alignment is like 75-100$ unless that 200 doesn't include it Lol

yeaa thats the average price. I guess i have no choice really, if my buddy and i decide we cant do it, il just get it done for the 150 and then get an alignment somewhere else. Id love to do it myself, and people on the forums say its easy, so we'll see.
ugh im dying to get these on lool

I even asked my mechanic and he quoted $450 for coilover install and alignment for your ride.

So kinda late but i got my coils in on Friday, and i love it!
Here are some pics
Pic of car before



At the shop with the wheels off



Comparison of my old springs and new ones for rear



Kinda lazy to post all pics, so heres a pic after it was finished and i washed it



Me and my buddy got the install that same weekend on both our cars-




BTW... Dro, i shall be lower soon! lool (just waiting for the end of the week so the springs could sag that 1/4" ive been told they would)

Next on list-
New rims with stretched tires
Start working on audio (thinking about going all rockford power series, still debating though)

been thinking of these Raderwerks rims and painting the face of it a nice purple colourand keeping the lip the way it is
specs:

Front: 18x8, 2" lip, ET 35
Rear: 18x9, 3" lip, ET 35

18x9 ? u sure its gunna fit?

coming along nicely!

I like those wheels for a VW

I've seen 18x9.5 rears on a vw so it theory it should fit

he will need to roll the fenders for sure.

Yea they would fit but a fender roll is deff necessary. Might have some poke too, but I'm kinda looking for the stretch and poke look. not too much cuz overdoing it looks stupid lool. I can't wait till I get my rims though

So i got a custom sticker done the other day, i wanted something that im 99.9999% sure nobody in Ontario has. The guy that does my stickers showed me this idea and other than his cousin that lives in England, im the only person to have it (for now) Alot of VW people tend to do the whole Burrberry theme, but id rather do a Louis Vutton thing, with a bit of a difference:



How it looks on my car (did it to both rear windows)



Some may like, some may not, but either way i think its pretty sick and very unique

Soooo got my rims on last week and LOVE them. didnt go for the bbs style, as EVERYONE seems to be riding with them, from vw's to civic's everywhere. So i went for a more euro look and picked up a set of XXR 530's, specs are 18x8.75 +25 et as oppose to the 15x6 +35 et that i was running a week ago.
Love these rims!! they're flush with the fenders, im rubbing for now, but looking to get smaller tires soon stretched so i can go lower again Right now the tires are 225/40/R18, im looking to stretch 215/35's sometime soon
anyways heres some pics, not rlly good ones because i haven't had time. in person it looks waaaay better (never been a fan of xxr's, but i love these ones )



got them powdercoated high gloss black

Unitronic chip it. you wont regret it

That looks so nice! Great choice with the rims and it's nice to see something other than BBS on a vdub. I like the window sticker too. I have seen a ton of those on vdubs/Honda's but nothing with the theme you went with. Awesome for being different. Need more of that in the tuner scene.

Thumbs up from me!!

Hopefully you'll be out at CSCS on the 19th so that we have at least 3 VWs there
