if you have coilovers you can crank them up and still drive

for the rears i just bring extra springs you can easily swap out

at least here in texas, there have been 2 guys who have had a failed pressure sensor, depending on where the sensor is, make sure its not in the bottom of the tank where all the water/condensation accumulates

bring the box back? NICE

yeah thats what I had to do, it was the front left and I just cranked it up. I was completely shocked when it happend I almost had no idea what to do...I was like uhhh...shit...I think I just blew a bag....tow truck NO...Springs...didnt have um...then I finally realized I could just turn them up.

Okay got some pics of the install I did not post yet as well as some other slight mods.

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!: Do NOT try and run your front bags with 20psi and an ET50 wheel...it will blow. I Knew it was rubbing but since I have no real concept of what PSI translates into what height yet I rubbed right through the bag. But I just ordered 215/35's and some spacers so that should be taken care of.




Old K-sport junk.


Shock body with everything removed. The corrosion coating on these thing suck ass!


bagged



Tonight I took off the nips with the help of my buddy Evan






Hit it with a coat of primer.


Before:


After: I'm actually a little dissappointed at how low its not going in the rear. I thought I would get much more outta that, but I'm thinking it's my massive 225's on the rear holding it up? I'll find out tomorrow or Thursday when I switch em out.




Hopefully getting notched next week.

I'll try and get some quality real camera pics soon.

Those But I'm getting rid of them soon for some very very very I mean very original benzos. I mean so original I cannot find a pic to this day nor have I heard of anyone ever running them. But thats a secret for now:bellyroll:

cant wait :thumbup:

damn man sorry to hear about the front bag. that's kinda freaky. what do you think is a good distance from bag to tire when adjusting it?

for the backs...maybe you can try to give it a little negative camber if your tire holding it up on the fender?

looking good and good luck!

thats so awesome, glad you got it done!!!!!

yeah just dont forget to watch that clearance up front

mount the wheels and double check, i always run spacers in front for oem vw/audi wheels

I'm doing 10mm spacers up front but I'm hoping it will either not be to much or too little..What would yo recommend running?

my fat fives were 18x8.5 et 45

i put 15mm spacers all around and wheels are flush to the fender
