Wait... there's an air thread???

I've just spent the last 25 min scrolling back thru every thread in this forum looking for info.

I'm trying to learn as much as I can b/c I am seriously considering it for my car, but I don't know anyone that has it. Nor have I ever ridden in one.

im going out on a limb and guessing this is the OP's car? 1st bagged R in the states?

That's mine. I haven't picked it up yet. I also pussed out and had blue water performance do the build... Lol. I'll update with tons of photo and info when I pick it up.

[specialkk43]

That's mine.

Didn't mean to thread-jack... car looks great!!!!

[Dutchmastr9]

did they notch it? rear looks like it should be lower

[luke wl.]

They didn't want to cut without asking me. That photo was before they asked... It will be lower tomorrow

[provenflipper]

Car is looking so ridiculous.... I might have to start looking at air ride. Post more pics ASAP!

[abeR]

sorry to spoil the fun by posting the pic OP

car looks great!

[luke wl.]

No problem abeR! I didn't take that photo anyway. Bluewater put it on their facebook. The rear will be about an inch and a half lower than the photos but I won't be on the frame... Not for now maybe down the road.

question, does the front need a notch or does it already sort of have one? My buddy said the mkv R32s already had a sort of had one(i wasnt aware of this) and since our car is basically the same chasis it seems to reason ours would too. but i dont really know since i havent looked under the mkv

[luke wl.]

At this point that would be a question for bluewater. I will however take tons of photos and let everyone know what comes in contact where etc. I know they did NOT notch the front. Not sure about the rear yet.

[luke wl.]

heres a quick shot in the driveway with the trusty iphone. The rear is not quite as low as I would like it to be but Bluewater got it as low as possible without changing the bags and while still running a top cup (so I can drive the **** out of it still!). Wheels should be here in a few weeks.

[specialkk43]

Looks great!

Makes me all that more confident in my decision to bag mine!

Thanks for being the 1st!

[provenflipper]

Car looks amazing. Makes me wish I had the cash to bag mine. Maybe one day.

I'm putting my springs on tomorrow. Will be bagged by wuste!!

[18bora.]

You call that low?

This is low

[luke wl.]

Wheels are shipping from Memoryfab today and the car is back at Bluewater to finish up the trunk and work out a few kinks. Also having them do Stage 1+ while it is down there... I am impatient haha.

Here are the new wheels.

[Dutchmastr9]

futuras are always a good choice

[cloors]

futuras are always a good choice

I can think of few situations where they wouldn't be the best choice! Can't wait to see them on the car. I've had a semi-chubb for these wheels since I got into VWs.

[luke wl.]

Got the car back from Bluewater yesterday. Had them do a United Motorsports stage 2 tune with an EvoM intake and APR HPFP feels great but I want MOAR!!! haha. Will be doing the full stage 2 possibly 2+ soon I think. Trunk setup is done here is a quick cell snap of it. I am taking out the rear bumps today to get it a bit lower so I will take some proper photos this week.



Still need to shim the tank mount so it sits even and polish the tank (yay fun). But Bluewater did a great job and I would recommend them to anyone!

[Lamfalus]

Nice water/meth tank!

[Alive By time]

I wasnt gonna say it

[luke wl.]

Pulled the rear bumps and dust covers off and got it about an inch and a half lower! I need to notch the passenger side as it sits about 3/4" higher at the moment but looks awesome now can't wait to get the wheels on!

[luke wl.]

heres a not so grainy shot

[SamQuint]

That looks quite good. Too bad it's a 4 door

[mkim]

hope you get your wheels soon

[casperslost]

can you post a closer view of how your front wheels are tucking please car looks great man! Needs moar futuras!
