    The New G-Ride

    04-23-2012 09:36 PM #1
    So I traded my mk2 gli for a 2008 4-Door Rabbit S. Its an automatic, but it does have the shiftable 6-speed which is nice, and a sport mode. By the way, I have a brand new 5 slat single round grill and the lower trim from BFI that came in today. Will sell for $50.

    ha! For real! I don't know if I want to do springs or coilovers. Springs are cheaper, I might go with those.

    I agree. I want to be lower but not to the point where I have to worry about bumps in the road and freeways all the time.
