    I am thinking about buying then bagging a mk5 r32 and I'm curious as to what additional parts would you need vs. bagging a fwd car. Like would I need adjustable rear control arms? Both of my mk4 r32s had suspension done with adjustable control arms. Just wondering if stock control arms will hinder how low the rears can go once aired out.

    Why would you want to bag a perfectly good .:Racekar?

    Guy in the back of the room: "Hey, isn't your .:R bagged?"
    Me: "shut up man!"

    Seriously though, no you won't have to worry about the control arms. You can swap them out, but no need.

    Hey Eddie, let me know what setup you go with man, when I get back from deployment I'm putting a bunch of money into my .:R and might turbo it. It's all paid for now

    Are there any reasonably priced kits out there that dont require any additional items for bagging a mk5 R32?

    Went through the dealer on a TSP that was put out but it was for a limited time and from what I recall for original owners only. It was a pain.

    Oh, my other option is an A5 or S5.
