I looked around and found plenty of slammed MK1s but 90% of them had no suspension or wheel/tire info. I didn't see a thread that was similar to this so, lets do it and make a huge list w/pics and info.

Re: (Cedric_s)

About 5-6 years ago... Factory springs, Gas struts on 175-70R13's...

Last year - Vmaxx coil overs, 195-60R14's, cranked maybe 1/2 way down.


Best pic I have of it in its current state... Vmaxx, most of the way down on 195-45R14's... (crappy camera phone pic)

edit: changed last pic - better angle

made it home not touching the ground once. final count for the ride down was broken exhaust, broke something that is now leaking fuel everywhere and possibly an axle. all in all was a worth while trip. if i decide to try to bring it to waterfest or H20 i am going to jack it all the way up and run some 14s. the hell with the horrible gas millage all the way down there.

Worst car for this thread:

Stock cabby suspension. Tarp is only temporary.
14" Snowflakes with 185-60's.
I'm hoping it settles more.



Represent! I think it has settled a little more.(almost 2 years later) I'll leave the details to the owner...

Mine:

The one in the rear, naturally.
Passat steelies, engine delete mod, stock suspension. Soon to change...
