TheAutoTech's Passat W8 - HeavyW8

[SDKmann]

I vote LM reps, they're my favorite so far.

If your gonna go with 18's - I like the Phaeton's the best .

You do sacrafice a bit of ride quality with 19's and coilovers, but you really don't have to worry too much about bending. Most wheels are very durable and as long as your a bit more aware and cautious you'll be fine .

What's the bolt pattern? Here are a couple sets I found on AZ:

Sportec Mono 10 reps would look sick too!

Just throwing out some ideas

Those are nice...I like the reps if they will fit over my brakes.

That's a good deal on the Sportecs, and they look very similar to Flik Justices.

[SirRangeALot]

So...I think it's time to update my mod list a tad.

To do list:
H&R/Koni setup or FK coilovers - 90% sure I'm going with H&R/Koni setup. Just need to take care of my CV boots first!

Wheels - still up in the air. I'm trying my hardest to stick with my plan of suspension first, wheels later!

Smoked side turn signals - Yes

Smoked fender markers - Yes

Chrome mirror caps - Undecided

Chrome door handles - Undecided

Chrome B6 grille nose piece - No - can't seem to find it now anyway...

Chrome badge-less grille - Yes - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...3/PICT0292.jpg

Replace Bi-xenon headlights or get angel eyes No to the angel eyes - Bimmer guys only.

iPod adapter - Yes - changing CD's is lame.

Upper (and lower?) eyelids - No

M3 lip spoiler - No

Shave PASSAT, W8, and 4MOTION off the trunklid - No - to avoid any confusion that I drive a Passat, not a Jetta.

Remove W8 badge from grille - Yes, if not going with a badgeless grille.

(2) 4" SilverLine mufflers HELL YES!

Also, I'm thinking about getting a Boser hood (angry). Just an idea right now. I think this is the look I want:



-or- (I know I won't be this low and I'm going with 18"s...but you get the idea)

[SirRangeALot]

Yeah, probably because people think that's the only car VW makes...

Now let's see these wheels on your car, or you are gonna wait until you get it lowered?

[OrangeDUB]

Congrats man! The W8 is gonna have a whole new look. I think it's gonna be lookin pretty baller soon

[SirRangeALot]

Noooo...I can't stand my wheel gapage now, 18's will make it look like a Touareg ! (As if it doesn't look that way now...) But looking at Owen's car makes me feel better...sorry bud!

Congrats man! The W8 is gonna have a whole new look. I think it's gonna be lookin pretty baller soon

Thanks dude, but I think you'll have the baller status, not me.

[c2plex]

wow... i don't even know waht to say to that...

although i'd be willing to bet there IS like a 6" gap above my front wheels

and i have no idea how the hell it got taht way... because the rears are normal...?

Just giving you hell, man. That is weird though how the front sits higher than the back...?

Aw you're making me blush

[SirRangeALot]

Aw you're making me blush

Just being humble.

Thanks dude! I'm definitely happy with the purchase. They should be here in a few days along with my springs. Shocks arrived yesterday.

Not only will you see it but you may be able to participate if Dan is still up for helping me with the suspension...

[SirRangeALot]

Couple more items to cross off my list...

-Chrome mirror caps (replacements, not the cheap stick-on type)
-Icelink Plus iPod adapter w/ Dension wiring adapter

Both should be in my possession within this week, and my suspension will hopefully be done on Friday! (Thanks again, Kevin!)

((That is if my springs would hurry up and get here already!!!!!!!))

[OrangeDUB]

I cab;t wait to see your pasat Jeremy, after the wheels and drop it will be pimptastic

[SirRangeALot]

Word, son. I can't wait!

Post pics immediately after the surgery!!
