    Default 07' GTI Out of Hibernation

    Snow is gone, but potholes are plenty. Oh well, just gotta drive careful I guess

    Here's the result of some parts I collected over the winter. It's lowered 2" and I have 18x8 F and 18x9.5 R.

    Nice, clean and simple what's with the po-po station? is that where the storage place is across? (smart idea)

    I'm curious as to why you decided to stagger your setup?
    Wouldn't that induce a lot more understeer? Especially in a FWD car?

    I don't drive on the streets to the point where I would be inducing under or oversteer with my staggered setup. For track days I have my stock 17s.

    This setup is strictly form over function

    ^ ya i have always been interested in why (other than looks) do Jetta and GTi owners like to do staggered setups and how does it affect your handling driving a fwd with huge rear wheels/tires?

    don't get me wrong tho, staggered porsche bbs's on jettas look amazing!

    vogtland 50mm on stock shocks. The ride is a bit firmer than stock and very comfortable for daily driving. I have no rubbing issues with this setup
