New to MK5s, not new to VWs
« on: March 26, 2013, 10:16:30 pm »
Hey. I've been posting on E38 for a few years, but have recently bought myself a 2.0TFSI Jetta...and this place looks like it might be a bit of a better place to learn from :)

So, hello!

Rob

Almost certainly...I'm just not sure what quite yet.

Picked up a GTI tartan interior already. It's got a Milltek cat-back exhaust, so I'm tempted by a sports cat downpipe and an R-Tec remap. Air is also high on the list.

I need to refurb my Fat Fives and chuck them on too.

Not coils, but the seller said it had some Eibach springs installed.

I'm desperate to get it lower, but I think air is the only option as I don't want to trash this one!

Mine is sat on a B12 sportline kit with eibach springs (enough lows for me at this time)

You probably will need the chassis notch to get lows.
Check out Jettair's thread he is on air!
