    My rears have been on for 4 days and have settled 1/2 inch. It took a couple of months for my other springs to fully settle. I'm thinking they'll drop another 1/4" . These are undersized VW tires. And to all those wondering about the spring rates i'd have to say they are nowhere near the rates we were quoted (based on comparing to my prokits, h&r sports, and races). They are pretty similar to sports i'd say so get the vert kits for firmer spring

    See this is what I was waiting for; whether to spend 800-1000 for a nice kit or cheap out on this for 380.00. I didn't want to cut and weld. If the car still needs to settle chances are it will drop a bit more making the tire almost flush..... oh... for the extra cheaper set up I figured there was room in the budget for sarcasm...lol.

    that's perfect. just what I wanted for my vert. I take it the back is the same or a bit lower? I want the clearance to be the same between the front and rear wheels. Can you take a pic of the whole side of the car?

    Now we just have to find out how the car handles with these. :-) thanks for going to the trouble of installing and throwing pics up.

    Hard to say. In my fiddling with the fronts, pretty much everything slipped on with Bilstein front shocks. The rears are a no brainer as the springs/adjuster just sit on the stock spring perch area on the A-arm.

    I've ordered and will post pictures of the GC smaller rear spring without the adjuster and with the adjuster in.

    :hitler:

    Heavy modding needed?

    Your rears look great. The early arches just take a significant low to really pull it off at all. The 2.25 id springs will help level me out considerably. Post more when you get your fronts in. You should be looking great at that point.

    Yup still waiting on the other front adjuster. The reverse rake is more than an ie3 kit lol
    But so far I am loving the setup but I might look into the gc springs like some of the others on here
