    Winter mode

    Found some pics when I still had my old winter wheels on, I also ordered some center caps for my future wheels.

      Did you really get more camber? Was it in the front or rear? How did you get that?

        The shock is bottoming out, like it absorbs then it suddenly stops. I think it's because there's 1 inch less of travel than before I adjusted the height, and the springs aren't exactly stiff so it just runs out of travel.

          I loosened the three bolts that connects the hub and the control arm and pulled the bottom out as much as possible and replaced the nut. Just the front. I don't know how to adjust the rear.

            Ah so you pulled the ball joint out a bit? That honestly has like 1/8" of travel tops, I have never found that it increased camber at all. I thought you had adjustable camber plates or something.

              I would've got camber plates if there's a good deal on it. Maybe my next budget DIY will be a camber plate, but i honestly don't trust a budget build camber plate holding my suspension.... Well, the ball joint didn't get too much camber but i did make the three holes on the control arm a bit wider ( about 3-5mm).I think the extra camber is actually visible because my buddy's 1.8T at about the same height has less negative camber..

                  Yes, it is lowered to the correct height.

                                +/-0.5" is a huge difference side to side.

                                Also 25" is probably the highest you can go with coilovers, lower it down to 24" and then you might be start to be considered low (if that is what you are going for)
                                Not saying 25" isn't a functional ride height, just saying that you can't call it "low"
