Man that looks amazing with the intercooler on it. My friend and I are currently in the midst of re-building an '85 Jetta coupe 1.6T he bought and he is planning on putting one on, so I'm super psyched on it now.

how harsh does it ride with the suspension that slammed?

i had my car about that low, and it rode on the bump stops..

What a silly question! You should know not to bother asking rhetorical questions!

i went that low ONE TIME..

thats all it took. had to put my stock springs back in the car..

i had my car pretty slammed for like, oh, a week, then went back up..

now, my mk2s ride stock in the rear, and raked about an inch low in the front..

i hate ripping my duck bill/bumper fascia off on speed bumps, and parking space dividers..

still looks good, just doesnt drive that awesome..
