    Talking Custom Eibach Coilovers are on......Car is SLAMMMED (MK3 Forum vwvortex slammed)

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Ok so I have asked 5 people on here that have Eibach ProStreet Coilovers about how low they go. Everyone told me that they have their coilovers cranked all the way down and there is still a little gap in the front. I had 3 people measure their gap and they said it was 20-25mm. Not to be mean but either everyone lied about their coilovers being all the way down or I have a magical special set. So I thought I would go to the shop and cut 30mm of the bottom of my coilover. So this is what happened.

    Just so all you guys know, again recap
    - cut 30mm off
    - Coilovers perch is still 15mm from the bottom rite now.
    - Car is SLAMMED
    - Car rides superb

    Sorry for the Cell Pictures. I will wash and detail the car tomorrow or friday and take some better pictures with my 30D.

    Cut 30mm off


    This is what it looked like


    What it looks like before it got Tigged


    On the car (welded back together and painted)


    Parked at my place.



    The car rides superb. Well since I still have all my shock travel and all. lol

    Im going to take it up about .75 of a inch so i can fit the wheels and all. will see how it will look.

    That looks AWESOME.

    To those who ask why, WHY THE F*CK NOT?!

    Although I'd be iffy about the structural integrity of your shocks now...

    Still too high. I believe the next step would be to deflate your tires.

    It's just like the Tein Flex coilovers, after you lower the car you lower the whole shock body to retain full shock travel. Since he already chopped off the lower part of the shock body (in this case, lowered the shock body) and lowered the adjustment perches, he has full sock travel so it looks low but rides as if it is higher.

    IMO, cars that are lowered so much that you are tucking most of the tire into the fender well should be made of only japanese decent. (Example: Honda)

    and no, i am not saying honda's look good when they ride like that. no car looks good like that. but i mean...at least youre being different?

    I need to get pics of mine all the way down now as it sits... its pretty low. I dont see why you would need to cut the shocks...but it looks good anyway.

    As of right now the wheels dont rub. They only touch the fender in full U-Turn. But i will raise it up a little bit when i get wheels and roll the fenders if not they will get pulled and i will get stretched tires.

    Sorry everyone but i come from the VW world. lol MK3 and MK4 forum. Slammed with sick ass wheels and some clean body work wins it for me.

    I like it. I think the front would look better slightly higher (or the rear slightly lower), but either way it looks good man.

    The weld on there before was MIG. when i got it done this time it got TIGed on. Way stronger. Also the guy that welded it does SCCA and NASA roll cages and steering columns and so on. I trust him. lol

    LOL no fiberglass for me. Im going to get a USP front and im going to shave both side vents and just have a front mount. Will run a slitter but with the car raised another inch. I will also get S4 door blades and get my 19x8.5 and 19x10 if not im doing 18 in same setup. And i have some nice plans for the rear bumper. it will still be the stock 2piece one but with a twist

    those sound like some solid ideas. Make sure to document the progress on the zine. Oh, go with 19s
