Got the rear a bit lower but still want to get it down more. Still far from dialed in but I'm loving it. Who said 16s are too tiny

Thanks. I'll be honest it's really hard to pull off 16s. The right tire size the drop, and drivability all come into play. There is tons of tweaking needed to make it work. But I'm getting there.

I was talking to John about it, but other things happened and I decided to just have my vw buddies help me with it. Less hassle that way.

The car is pretty close to being on the ground. It's going about 1" to 1 1/2" lower ad that's it. I daily this car 70-100kms a day so being this low is already turning into a huge obstacle. I had to completely reroute my route to school, and to work, and the shop so that I avoid areas. I also have to straddle the grooves in the road right now or else it constantly throws sparks. Once the skid plate is done and it's lower try and get some good sparking pics :p

Would have bagged it but we get serious snow here. Easier to pull the coilovers then buy a second car. Don't have the room for it. And there are guys that drive bagged year round, but those guys have 5-7000 into there set-ups. Not something I'd want to spend.

Bignicky1- you can shim drums super easy. Don't have to worry about any pinching issues.

Randyo- I'm auto and have tons of axle bind. Have a buddy working on some raised motor/tranny mounts to correct it thou.
Ive been trying to talk to powell about a set too but hes super busy with other projects. how many miles are on your cv's? i just dont wanna get stranded ya know? lol

107,000km of that 50,000 on coilovers fully slammed and about 10,000km on lowering springs. Knock on wood, so far so good.
