New guy in Layton

[officerjon]

Hi. I'm Jon, not new to vw or forums, but new to modifying vws and vw forums.

I just recently acquired a 2009 tiguan. My wife loved them, I had a mazdaspeed3 and she had a tiguan. I traded in the mazda and bought her a new tiguan, now I'm going to drop the older tiguan and put an intake on it and some other stuff. So if anyone has leads on springs I can throw on the tig, lemme know.

It may seem strange to have two tigs, but it's going to look great when Im done with it.

I look forward to getting to some meets or something.

There is no such thing as to many tig's We like pics around here. That's a hint by the way.

Congrats on ridding yourself of the Mazduh and getting into another Tig.

My better half just traded in her 07 Passat for a new reflex Silver Tiguan SE. She is so stoked on it and I gotta admit they are just too fun. Great cars.

[officerjon]

yeah, pics when I stop thinking mommy ride when I look at it. Might be a minute.

hey, i live in south ogden too! that makes 4 of us "davis county" guys that don't actually live IN davis county

and i have always wanted to seen a nicely done tiguan, i've always thought those lil' mini suv's have potential.

[officerjon]

Yeah, i dont know if I'll be going that low, or looking that good, but thats the idea.

I havent had time to look up a good FAQ for modding and parts. Anyone have any recommendations? I've found a lot of site dont carry a full line of parts, and I have yet to find a definitive article on what other car's parts will and wont work.

That lowered Tig looks freaking amazing.

[President Lincoln]

Yeah but from what I've read, if u want your Tig to still go to stock height.. bags is not gonna do that.

[beyondkustom]

a good bag setup has about 6-8" of travel.

[officerjon]

One set of coils I found only listed a 2" drop. The Eibach and HR springs only go an inch and a half. I still need to be able to tow with the tig also.

[officerjon]

Tossed my rack on. Looks much better. Almost makes the car look smaller somehow.

Waiting on 17.5 mm spacers now.
