I just got a set of VMR v701s (18x8.5 et 45), but have yet to put tires on them. Right now, I'm at around 23.75" ftg, and may go lower depending on what will work. On the fitment chart, it says to run a 215/40 tire. I have camber plates up front, so my question is would I be better off running...

After noticing some noises from the front of my car, I pulled the wheels off and saw that the nut from my passenger side front endlink had come off, and the endlink was laying on the axle, causing the noise. I bought a new nut, but realized the threaded part on the endlink is shot. When i try to...

Hey guys, my car's been lowered for about 6 months, and this whole time I've been dealing with the car sitting unevenly in the rear. I'm on ksport coils, but after isolating everything, I don't think they're the issue. I've swapped everything on each side, spring and strut, just spring, just...

Didn't really feel like coming up with a catchy title, ha. These pictures are from the first "shoot" I've ever really done with my car, and I believe the first pictures of my car I've put on this forum. I'm definitely not a photographer at all, so I appreciate any feedback/pointers on these. I...

First off, I want to say I had a great time at SOWO this year! While there, I decided to finally get my ecu flashed and decided to go with Unitronic's stage 1+ software. After doing business with them, I only have great things to say about their customer service. After filing out the form to get...

A few days ago I had my tires rotated and balanced, and ever since then I've had winter tire warning come up on the display any time I go over 55 miles an hour. I don't have winter tires, so I'm confused as to why it comes on. It says "Winter tire warning, max speed 55 miles per hour." It dings...

I'm looking at ordering a set of k sport coilovers today, and was wondering wether or not to get them with the adjustable end links or not. My sway bars are stock, though I might consider upgrading them in the future. Would it be worth it the get the adjustable end links now, or would it be...

I'm not sure if a thread like this exists or not, but I thought it would be nice to come share stories about people you've met with that just do some messed up stuff. I guess I'll start. A few years ago, I was shopping for my first car, looking around classifieds and craigslist. I spent well...

For part of a project in my freshman seminar class, I have to conduct an interview with someone in my field of interest (mechanical engineering), that has had a job in the field for at least 4 years. I had a family member scheduled to interview, but my professor informed me that we couldn't...

First off, i already searched and am having trouble finding a 42dd downpipe that's catted without a resonator. Does anyone know a dealer with one at a good price? Or is anyone selling one used?

Yesterday, I was cleaning the interior of my gti and had to move both seats from a neutral position to all the way forward and all the way back and back while vacuuming. Afterward, I cranked it and noticed there was an airbag fault light with a display message. The light was not on a few hours...

First of all, please excuse my ignorance about tires. I'm looking at getting a new set for my gti, that I'm planning on lowering on coils in the next few weeks, I'm wanting to stick with a 225 45 17 to avoid any rubbing issues. So I'm looking at something with fairly good performance for the...

Does anyone know of a good place in Atlanta that installs coils?

I'm looking at buying a set of ksport kontrol coils. I found some from a dealer on ebay for a good price, but I'm not sure if they are V1's or not (which I heard had problems). Anyways, most of the ones I see have an orange body, but these are black. Is this a way to tell the difference between...
