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..
