Much better Kab!
Very impressive unit.
Gives a good impression and confidence in the work being done
Looks Outstanding! Love the wheels and the lowered profile. I live in Los Angeles, and the roads are notorious for potholes and road hazards. Although it looks outstanding, it might not work for me here across the pond. Love your vids. Cheers!
Thanks for getting in touch from LA! Appreciate it. The roads are not great here in Birmingham (England UK) either, but the car looks great lol. All the best buddy and keep in touch how you get on with your mk8 GTi
@@DownShiftThrottle I just uploaded my first video of my 2023 MK8 GTI czcams.com/video/-7-nuq8qwso/video.html
looks good. does yours have the adaptive shocks? i want to lower mine just a little bit but i don't want to compromise the adaptive shocks from doing their thing. u know? i have a 2023 40th anniversary USA.
Hi mine is on passive set up. I had a M140i a few years ago on adaptive shocks and my M4 on adaptive shocks. Both cars were lowered and honestly the ride wasnt messed up or affected badly. You can check my vids out on those. I would imagine you'll be just fine. Remember to swap out the front top mounts for some Bilstein ones as the stock ones will go bad after lowering your car and within few Hundred miles/km
Looks great!! What size alloys are you running and was it expensive to have done? 😢
Running 18" wheels. Forgot to mention also has the Bilstein top mounts fitted on the front. Was around £550 for parts, labour and Geo set up
Thanks! I was debating on 18 or 19” but your 18” look spot on, yeah i was considering bilstein top mounts because the genuine VW ones are pretty weak when lowering springs are added. Thats not too bad! Was that price including your top mounts also?
That is what I was told, with a few hundred miles the OEM top mounts will give in. The price was including everything so not too bad
@@DownShiftThrottle what ET offset did go for with your new alloys too for them to sit nice and flush?
@mikegomez4756 these are offset 45 compared to 51 on the Richmond set. No need for spacers
man she is cute
I know thanks really happy with the way the car looks! She's mean!
lol thought you were talking about the redhead!
