dont know what to get...

[veedubmechanic]

I cant decide between coilovers or rims. I cant afford both because rims are about 900-1000 and coils are 950. I only have the stock 16" glx wheels right now so I am not sure how a dropped tinted silver wagon would look with stock 16's..? ANd I cant photochop because I dont have mad skills. I also want exhaust but the only pre-made 4-motion exhaust systems are supersprint (1500) or remus axleback (850) or milltek (1600). Or I could just ghetto it with some ebay "euro mufflers" and get pipes at the shop on university and weld it up.

FK silverline coils are 950 (goin with those)
BG coils are 1300
Blistein pss9 coils are 1650

i liked my b&g coils :thumbup:
I like them too

As for the Passat, I'd personally end up going with wheels. Are you dead set on coilovers? I know springs are a bigger commitment with the ride and all, but they are much cheaper. I rock H&R Race springs and Bilstein Sport struts year round. Nice drop, although the ride is less than comfy over bumps...

[slobuny]

coilovers first 100percent

[Stumanbmx]

Wheels without a drop looks silly.

[veedubmechanic]

the car has 85k on it and needs shocks as its bouncy (ohhh no my groceries fly arround) ....lol... I priced shocks at 650 + springs at 200. So thats why I want to go coils, its only 100 more for coils over springs/shocks plus I can go lower than a 60/40

B&g have great reviews.. my bros got Fk in his car and their fine... id probably go with those there not bad.. if your deciding between wheels or coils first... deff. go with coils wheels with a 4x4 gap looks retarded

[mimalmo]

[MPLS MK3]

[Peetah05]

Coils, i did it the opposite way and was not happy being monster truck for a month saving up...

[glee60]

Ooh, Ooh! I have an example to back Petah and show why coils are first!

I have been debating between FK and B&G for awhile, everyone says B&G goes lower, but I know far more people still running FK's. They both drop insane amounts. I want the FK for the adjustable dampening.

x15 coils

If you get bored you can always clean up and paint your stock wheels. But rims do looks bad on stock right height.

[Dex4]

coils first.

You can always find nice used wheels down the road, but pretty much always need to buy suspension new. So get the expensive coils first.

[Eyedeas]

agreed with everyone on coils.

Owned by grammar.


Anyways, Always go suspension before wheels if you are trying to look good. :thumbup:

[veedubmechanic]

well yea I dont know if I will be getting either now because I guess my transmission is not going to be replaced under warranty so I need the 900.00 for a used tranny...boo for luther advantage warranty:thumbdown:
They did though replace the cam seals and engine mounts and axle seals for free though.

[dubswede]

coils.
like everyone else says.

and spacers. buy used ones. screw new wheels, low on oe wheels is hot.

(even if the car is dirty and war-torn)

and i tried to buy b&g's last summer and they had been sold out/not being imported for awhile.

[flame_sk8er90]

your not building a fucking donk...go with coils first, sweetheart.

[jedi knite 2.0t]

coils for sure .....

[Iwannadub]

your not building a fucking donk...go with coils first, sweetheart.

Haha, that made me laugh. I'd go coils if it's still in the budget. :cookie:

[flame_sk8er90]

yeah, i read a bit further after i posted it, and decided to leave the brain baby sit around for others to enjoy. haha.

on the other hand you could just sell the civic, and do everything your little heart desires:hyper:
