Your welcome, glad it helped

I used the same spring kit, and a 1 1/2 tall spacer on the front with a two inch tall seat extension in the back. Got 3.5-4 inches plus another inch by installing bigger tires.

Will OEM strut boots fit or did you purchase different ones since you changed the back struts?

Just got my parts ordered. The coupling you used? The only ones I can find have thread inside. Did yours or am I looking at the wrong thing

@KlaptOutOffroad

Жыл бұрын

Yes mine was threaded inside

couple of questions: did this effect your fuel economy at all? could you put the front strut spacer on the outside of the coil or does it have to be on the inside of the coil? ie: could you not just space the entire assembly away from the mounting point?

@KlaptOutOffroad

Жыл бұрын

If your sticking with the factory tire size, then there will be no effects on fuel economy. Or atleast I didn't notice a difference. I've heard of people using the strut mount from a mkv golf, and that's supposed to give you a little bit of lift, but not sure on how much. Adding the kind of spacer I used to the top of the mkiv strut mount instead of below wouldn't work as (a) the threads of the strut shaft probably wouldn't reach through the strut perch above and (b) the strut mount wouldn't have a flush surface to rest against on the strut perch. Hope that answers your question.

Followed your video for my golf, turned out great (besides a bit of blood and bitchin😂) Did you end up running larger tires?

That's great to hear! Still running the stock 195s just because I already have both a winter and summer set in that size, but once I get new tires I may upgrade to something a little bigger

For the jetta will those same springs work or do I have to find front jetta springs

@KlaptOutOffroad

Жыл бұрын

Those same springs will work for the jetta

plot twist more coils make for softer spring less of the coils the spring has, softer it is but thicker wire makes springs exponentially stiffer, so even if new springs have 30% more coils, but have a few mm thicker wire, they will be way way stiffer than original, tag me and il drop you an equation

Would this setup work on a wagon? I have a MK4 wagon with stock springs in it now.

@KlaptOutOffroad

2 жыл бұрын

You would probably have to get or make spacers for the rear springs since your stock rear wagon springs are what give the normal golf its lift, but the front setup should work

@@KlaptOutOffroad Gotcha. I know there are "heavier" springs for the wagon you can upgrade to, I definitely don't have those. Figured maybe the springs you used were the heavier ones.

without the black pipe coupling, how much lift do you get from the front? I have all the coils but may do without the coupling.

How can i extent the shocks? ?

@KlaptOutOffroad

2 жыл бұрын

Only way to extend the shocks is to buy longer shocks. That's why I researched and bought the longest traveling OEM shocks I could find. However I'm told that late 90s F150 rear shocks will fit and are a few inches longer.

Any chance you could email a full list of parts used? Including OEM parts shown? I need to do this whole process not just the lift. 😬
