    Tires rubbing but car barely lowered

    I guess, in the end, it doesn't hurt to do the mod. It's quick and simple and saves all kinds of headaches. Perhaps I didn't have to raise the front THAT much and only do the screw mod? Who knows, but I actually prefer where it sits now. A lot more comfortable ride.

    Tires rubbing but car barely lowered

    Honestly man, I had no issues with the all seasons that came from the factory or my winters. I was pretty damn low too. Like the fender in the front was probably 8-10mm below the top of the tire. All my issues began once I just put on these new summer tires a few weeks ago. If you think this...

    APR DTR6054 Direct Turbocharger Replacement System

    I haven't been in this thread in months or maybe at this point a year has passed since the initial thread start. After all said and done, it sounds like this would make a solid upgrade if your IS20 blows. Otherwise, in NJ and not caring so much about speeding like a nut anymore, I'm happy with...

    Tires rubbing but car barely lowered

    Hey man, well my new summer tires are more meaty than the winter or all seasons which started this problem. That said... did the mod last night. Zero rubbing this morning taking the same roads I always do where I've always hit the same spots that it would rub on. As far as how low I went with...

    Tires rubbing but car barely lowered

    I'm happy to hear that. I initially thought my car came with the fenders rolled, but evidently not and the screw is still in there. I'm going to perform this either tonight or this weekend. Hoping this resolves my issue. I'm wondering though since you changed out your front 15mm spacers. I'm...

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    What did you do to your mk7 today? Well, not today, but yesterday, I was reversing down the driveway in the morning for work and every time I scrape a bit as I roll into the street. Well, I guess my mud flap had enough and it finally scraped enough that it pushed the mud flap under my tire...

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    I need this. The OEM once is badly saturated with tire shin lube that I can't get out. Anything I put back there comes out with the grease all over the bottom, lol.

    Tires rubbing but car barely lowered

    Wondering too, if I adjust the coil over to "Hard" vs soft, if this would add more restriction/remove some bounce.

    Tires rubbing but car barely lowered

    I'm literally having this right now since I had new summer tires installed. I also have the flush kit and had the car lowered just enough to remove the wheel gap. While rear appears Okay, the front rubs anytime I hit something uneven and it's quite annoying. I was about to ask if anyone kept...

    Any recommendations for a dealer in NJ?

    I purchase my MK6 GTI from Trend in 2013... It was a pretty easy buying experience. Can't say much about the price though. They charged the going rate at the time. Since you're in the market for something they know someone will pay what they're asking for, highly doubt you're going to get a deal...

    Clunking sound in rear of car

    Honestly, nothing has changed between the 034 and OEM in regards to the sound. Though the rear has definitely tightened up. That said, I also had 034 mounts on my coil overs on the Mk6 GTI and no issues at all with them. I've personally not heard anyone say to stay away from 034 mounts, in fact...

    Clunking sound in rear of car

    Did not replace the rear bar endlinks with the install. Everything was OEM minus what was included with this kit...

    Clunking sound in rear of car

    So I picked up the 034 shock mounts and installed them this past weekend. I initially thought the sound went away, but it came back relative quick after a short drive around town. Thus, I'm ruling out them as having been the issue (though weird that it appeared to go away briefly). I'm not all...

    Clunking sound in rear of car

    Thanks man. I'll keep this in mind if I can't find anything loose once I get under there. Is there any way to know for sure that it is this? Can I yank on a part or something to determine it's bad? I'm not all that experienced with suspension aspects.

    Clunking sound in rear of car

    Sounds like I'm experiencing this now. Been for the past couple weeks. Been waiting on warmer/non rainy weather to get under and have a look. Looks like this weekend will be a no go with rain also. It appeared to develop after I ran over some hard snow backing out of the driveway one morning...

    Any Jersey folks pass inspection with an aftermarket downpipe?

    I can't tell you about any other than Lodi, lol. Stay away from there. I can say that Paramus and Randolph were camera free last I went.

    Any Jersey folks pass inspection with an aftermarket downpipe?

    If it's not installed yet, I would wait it out. I think it'll be more headache if you have trouble passing and find that removing it, putting back on stock to pass, and then putting back on A/M is the solution. From what I hear, it's hit and miss with people on passing in NJ with aftermarket...

    Why I sold my Tesla Model 3 Performance & went back to gas

    Hey, let me grasp at anything I can. I'm not saying Jersey is in anyway the best state in the country. In fact, I'm not sure if it's still the highest state of folks leaving, but I think I had a valid reason as to why I might find sitting/standing around for 10+ minutes as a nuisance. Though...

    Why I sold my Tesla Model 3 Performance & went back to gas

    Nah man, that sounds like a, feel better about the situation scenario. I don't want to watch netflixs or go shopping while it's charging. I want to plug in, be full in like 2 minutes, and continue on my way. Perhaps since I'm in Jersey and don't even need to leave my car for gas, it makes it all...

    Why I sold my Tesla Model 3 Performance & went back to gas

    Anyone else feel that waiting for 20-30minutes for a charge is terrible or am I in the minority and hating too hard? Obviously not at home, but when you're out on the road. I had a conversation once with a friend about whether to pay tolls to get from point A to B quickly or use the option to...
