What did they charge for install if you don't mind my asking? Leaning toward them or a shop out in Walnut that comes highly recommended from one of the SoCal MK7 FB groups.Drove up to EMD Auto today for some lowering springs. Came out great and so far no rubbing issues.
Specs for those who might ask:
18x9 +45

OEMWhat shocks?
Ya, cant see out after an hour of driving on slushy salted dakota roads when dirty snow melts.I live in Toronto and absolutely adore my rear wiper.
Total was $650
That included the springs, install, and 4 wheel alignment.
Plus they gave me a T-shirt and some decals
Super cool guys!
I knew the oem shocks were a bit of a risk, but it’ll be 2-3 years before I put another 10k miles on the car so I figured I’d be alright.If you don't have DCC, start saving for good shocks. The stockers were toast in less than 10k miles after I did springs. They're barely adequate for the stock springs. You'll be bouncing off the bump stops in no time.
I difference in handling is massive too.
were you on stock strut mounts too?I hated the car lowered on oem shocks enough I was itching to trade it. I did the konis and trimmed bump stops and I'm in love with the car again. It's that much of a difference.
