hey mang, for the suspension, it will take from 30 min to an hour depending on how tired i am, i have all the necessary tools. and i was planning on doing it at my shop because its well lit and i dont have to lay on my dirty driveway.

ive probably done 100 vw suspension jobs in the last 5 or 6 years.. so you got nothin to worry about

Those 2 cars are not the same color.

GLI = Platnium Grey
GTI = Silverstone Grey

I was wondering if you had two screen names or what haha...

I feel good knowing you've done a ton of VW suspensions... first I need to swap out this coolant temp sensor and pass my emissions by the end of the month and then I'm down for the suspension anytime... do you have keys to the shop and can do it any day or only when its open?

I thought he has a GTI though, unless it was painted the GLI platinum grey, IDK maybe its similar

that sucks man, but yeah I'm on stock 17 long beaches... wish I had some aristos though, I think they look better

there is another kid in plainfield that drives an 02 silver VR6 gti that works at Crossroads Auto Spa but I doubt he is on the vortex. He envied me when I rolled in to get my 24v cleaned and he was only rockin 12v's

no it is a gti its the grey color not the reflex silver.... its stock paint.

yeah its a little darker but in certain light it has a blue tint to it which is pretty nice! I'm still deciding on what color scheme to do with it though because I want to paint the rubstrips and rims but black on grey has been done a lot so who knows...

[makenramen]

Lol, I'm assuming you are using one of those U shaped bottom steering wheels? If not, my hats off to you.

I wish I could have, but I was just pickin up some wings and headed back to my girls house because I had some work to do... nice Dub though, your **** is hella LOW. T3AM Pat's and Gibsonplyr's dubs were looking good too, mine still looks pretty stock and plain but we'll see what I can do to it this summer! maybe with a few of your guy's help...

still want to know if you think I should leave the rubstrips if I went with bronze wheels or black rubstrips like Coreys??

anyone else can throw in their 2 cents as well!

[makenramen]

thanks.. my car looks like poop with these dirty ass wheels i have on it right now... thats changing soon though

you were sayin you need that coolant temp sensor done too? if you want i can knock that out for ya too when we do the coils. its pretty easy

[IceColdJones]

yeah if I don't get it done soon then I would need that too, damn you're like an all-in-one stop shop

[makenramen]

random pic i have saved on my HD

maybe give you a little preview of what you're lookin to do

[IceColdJones]

damn that's like exactly what I had pictured in my head, and then I'll do something with the wheels, don't have the cash to buy new ones right now so I can change up the color or something

[makenramen]

this is just 100% opinion but i think you should trade the long beaches for monte carlos... they looks so hot on silverstone

you DO have long beaches right? i like to make things up in my head sometimes

[IceColdJones]

yup long beaches, same exact car in the picture except unpainted rubstrips, a spoiler, and a black turn marker. I should have someone in the pshop thread put some montes on that dub and see how it looks... should I leave the montes polished or do something to them?
