My frame and axle are becoming good friends!!

So I finally installed my coils on the car because I got tired of the Vogtland springs..they just weren't doing it for me anymore..I'm running fk streetlines all the way down in the front with no helpers and no rear perches in the rear, the car sits about 23" ftg all the way around. lmk what you guys think, only have a few pics for now hoping to get some better ones soon.









and one from Dubs on the Deleware

Da fuc u talking bout??? Ive never dealt with coilovers until my Passat.

[1Slow B6]

Helper springs are pictured above and perches are the adjusters for the rear... take them out an it will sit lower

[SickTRed08FSI]

I did some reading about this. Think im gonna look into this over the winter. I want bags really bad, but im more performance focused right now. Guess ill have to do this over the winter.

[fastD]

[1Slow B6]

ok so my first question since i have the same set up for anyone else with this same setup is if you have had any issues with the oil pan. im low in the front but not that low( have maybe a half a finger gap in the front. Second question is about the rear perches. someone said these are the adjusters in the rear? isnt that the collar? anyway when installing when my rear was jacked all the way up the spring would not sit flush with the body without the collar, and with the collar on there was still some play untill it was off the jack. then nothing was moving. i dunno if this is normal or not but so far no issues driving.

The only time I had a problem with my oil pan was when I was driving out to pa for dubs on the delaware and that's because the road was uneven and there was a huge dip I couldn't avoid. I didn't crack my oil pan or anything I just have a few scrapes on it



The perches are just the silver adjusters on the rear, I dont have mine in and didn't have an issues with the spring not sitting right, I'll try to get some pics when I get out of work

[SickTRed08FSI]

Beware if you go that low with Votex lip though. Im all the way down on ST`s and the bottom of my Votex lip is scraped up bad.

it sits flush and tight when the car is off the jack. i was just wondering if anyone had an issue when it was jacked up putting the spring in if it sat flush against the body while the car was in the air bc mine was not untill the car was on the ground

[butternuts6mt]

figured it out. we installed the rear springs in the front thinking the longer ones were made for the front and thats why it would not sit flush when jacked up in the rear.

[1Slow B6]

I would of never figured that out lol

[butternuts6mt]

I would of never figured that out lol

your pictures helped too lol
