if you really like them i wouldnt not get em you'd just have to put some serious change down for good winter tires, not all seasons. it also depends alot on how well you can drive in snow and ice.

 

here is a winter tire list

s.austin... what kind of problems did people have?

 

mainly electrical and hardware integrity. lots of little shit that just drove them nuts...of course theirs weren't SVTs...but still. The Neons...shit...you couldn't give me one of those things. Of the two people that I know that have personally owned a Neon...both of them had the head gasket blow before the car was 5 years old. I hate to say it...but they're both American cars.

 

All I have to say after driving a Subarau Impreza is...all wheel drive all the way. Its a complete trip to feel that car pushing and pulling its way around corners. Audi's don't suck either. I'm gonna have to drive the Evo and that new all wheel drive VW, although I hate the looks of the Evo. Any car can go fast in a straight line...I'm all about the curves.

ahh, ok. well i think and hope the svt's are a little more reliable since they are made by one team at one factory and in small batches (only @6000 per model year). but alot of the stuff is interchanchable but i think there is alot more quality control for that line....

and if that doesn't go through i'll just have to settle for a caddy sts.

johnny,

can you tell me why these coilovers would be 50 bucks, and every other one ive seen is like 600+?

are these ones made out of marmalade and crazy straws or what?

 

what brand? anything under $400 bucks is shit on a stick. those KW inox's are flossing if you can kidnap someone for the money. perhaps the eibach prokit or a cupkit. weitec and h&r have a cupkit but i'm not sure how they ride.

i havent gotten it yet, but im just waiting on the dealer to find one.

im either going with an 01 jetta wolfsburg, or an '00 jetta gls, whichever he finds first. why not an '01 gls you ask? cause if its not a wolf (which they didnt make in 00) then its not worth the extra 2k its gonna cost to get an 01. and to be honest, its not worth the 2k either way, but fuck it, soemtimes you gotta pay for a name, naw'mean?

with any luck, i'll have it in the next two weeks.

 

Good choice...

Right now I'm driving a `00 GLS and its fuckin bitchin...

It's not as quick accelerating as I'd like so I'm thinking of tinkering with the engine after the winter is done

 

Fuckin handles amaaaaaaazing I never want to drive anything but VW ever again, except maybe Audi..

 

edit: I just read up and realized you were going after either a silver or white Gls. hahahahha... I drive a silver one, and when the sun's shining off your metallic paint job you'll wonder why white was ever an option.

i'm sayin man, if you guys are finally getting cars we can be racing and throwing etch at electroclash hookers. i still got spots for 100 octane with winter here, yahming.

 

those coilovers aren't really coilovers. they won't work without shocks and i don't think they'll work on a vw.

 

that upper strut bar looks aight but i don't know the brand. it's usually one of the last mods or bought in conjunction with a rear swaybar and dropping the ride height usually bring first. there's also a front swaybar, front lower strut mount and a rear upper strut mount. with stiffer motor mounts, new control arm bushings and all that crap above the car would actually handle pretty good. sticky tires, that's high on the list too. once you chip the car the stock tires spin in first and second.

 

here's a dope site. i'm getting my clutch from these guys. anyway, take a look: http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebu...gory=Suspension
