looks like its coming along very nice!

**AirRide By Pugsley** · 03-29-2008 04:28 PM

Well I will say this, fat bottom girl goes up and down nicely and she get's low but my opinion on it is this the kit from HPS is a nice attempt at a bolt on air-ride approach but fails miserably in the end for the mk4 GTI application. The struts were too fat to fit the strut hole on the wheel assembly then the rear bags look little more than rubber tubing with some nice billett pieces strapped to the ends but are suprisingly functional, scary but functional, the front strut bag assembly is huge and therefore will most likely mean you have to buy custom offset wheels to even drive it after you've spent all this money for a dream air-ride kit. so in summary I think HPS needs to go back to the drawing board on this one!

did you use the tool to spread the knuckle part to fit the strut in, because without it thats usually the case that bottom of the strut doesn't fit inside easily. only my crappy easystreet slide right into the knuckle , but thats also bad because it messes up the camber. also i have the rear bags that are almost identical to HPS and they are pretty strong , don't see any problem there.

Ya we used the strut spreader tool. and man they were just way to big had to take a flapper grinding disc just to get them to fit.

**vdubkid97** · 03-29-2008 06:48 PM

Grinding down those struts and refitting them was kinda a pain in the ass but in the end it had to be done

**harryvw** · 03-29-2008 10:25 PM

Pics of fatbottmgrl?

**AirRide By Pugsley** · 03-30-2008 09:09 AM

I installed the first easy street kit on a GTI up in Panama City Fl and it was actually problem free and it was the very first kit, and it came with real bags not some wierd beercan bag for the rear! HPS needs to put more research and development into their product before they ship anymore kits out. I can't post pictures of Mark's car though, the reveal is for him to decide but it is gangsta!

The fronts just wouldnt go in, i even put a penny between the strut spreader, and the knuckle still no dice, grinding was a must, we would grind and check, and eventually they went in, this was a major pita. but to see the car go up and down in the end made it worth it
