Where'd you get the control arms and spindles?

Car-part.com. Found them on an '07 Passat

Nice.

Your ability to literally build these things is just amazing. How did you acquire all this knowledge and skill?

Just kept screwing up until I finally got it right. Lots of research and watching other people to minimize the mistakes

GTI vs Passat (wheel bearings and ball joints still installed)

Wow, significant weight savings. I have the same passat parts, just no time to install them.

Looking at new front sway bar end links since my old ones are worn. Haven't looked around at different options yet, but anyone have recommendations? Car isn't slammed, top of the tire sits right at the fender, stock front swaybar for now

Steinjager all the way! Prices are very fair, website is hard to navigate but you can order on the phone. They build them to your specs and are bar none the best out there. Get the dimensions you need (allowing for adjustment) and pick your hardware. I did all 4 of mine through them for around $210.

Here's the link, use the left side navigation bar and pick your stuff from there.

I'm very happy with my whiteline end links.

Asked the guy that shaved my rabbit bumper for me how much to shave my firewall panel. He quoted me $700. Even though I've never really done body work, I figure now is the time to learn and save $700. Pulled the firewall out today, shaved all the brake line mounting tabs and ground out the paint from the sound deadening plate holes and welded them in then smoothed it. Still going to make a new plate for the center so there isn't a transition from the left side to where the heater lines would go through. It will all be one smooth piece. Also made templates for the holes on either side where the wiring harnesses go through but no one had 20 ga sheet for me to make patch plates with so I'll need to order some

Sandblasted all of my new aluminum suspension bits then shot them in the same color as the subframe. Finally got my powerflex bushings in after they sent me a set for an M5
