Nice, I can see where they would be more popular in a place where it snows. Here in SoCal I maybe see one a month, if that. It’s weird!

Hey man, good to hear from you!

The problem there is that all the off the shelf coil conversions sit the suspension at level 2 or lower, which is no bueno for my purposes. I may explore something custom in the future.

Nice! Sounds like you got some damn good use out of it!

1) You got me there.

I will say this:

Are you looking to swap to a B5 drivetrain? If it’s just more power you’re after, I would consider just upgrading your 1.8t. Upgrading your turbo to a K04, an intercooler, downpipes, and a tune will get you a ton more power, and it would be cheaper and easier than a swap. Your 1.8t has a ton of aftermarket support. I…

As far as off the shelf goes, the only coilover conversion kits out there sit at much lower heights than what the air suspension is capable of. If I do go that route, it will have to be custom.

Yes! There are coilover conversion kits

The listed prices were just what it took to get it running, not including accessories after the fact.

Haha I’ll keep an eye out!

Haha I will not be running solo out there if I can help it

Nope! All stock wiring

Ok, you got me there. They’re not that bad.

Getting like 20mpg right now. Not great at all

Yep, I actually lived in Escondido​ for years! Now living in Poway area.

Between the IPP arms dropping level 1 lower and the big tires, I think it makes it look super low. Level 1 is completely unusable for me, which means I have to be very careful to not go about 80mph or so, haha. I’m working on a solution for that in VCDS though.

Nice! I definitely want to see that!

Thanks man! I’ve actually been eyeing yours for a while. God I’m jealous of that red.

I didn’t choose the title. It’s no Jeep, but I think this thing would surprise you.
