you can always U-Wrench. Should be able to easily do it in 4 hours with a hoist.

I did my A4 in my garage on Tein SS's and it only took me 3 1/2 hours by myself, while watching my 2 year old son hide my tools in his wagon.

Get an illustrated DIY off of VW Vortex or something and you will be good to go

I have the touring cupkit which uses the sport springs. The drop is subtle and functional. If you search on some of the mkv forums, a lot of people are running super sports with stock shocks/struts.

i deal with essex in vancouver

Re: H&R Race or Sport??

essex carries a line of cupkits that are pretty much H&R knock offs, they are built by H&R but they dont say H&R on them so they are priced pretty good.

Is this something thats sold online, or in Calgary ?

Id love too, just no one has the tools :(!!! It looks like for me ill have to save up for my coils, or cup kit + $400 install.

Re: H&R Race or Sport??

race springs drop it enuf that if you are running youre stock shocks you may end up blowing them. we deal with essex and they usually always recommend changiing up the shocks when running race springs.

Re: H&R Race or Sport??

Yeah to install springs isn't exactly rocket surgery. Spring compressor, 13,15,17mm socket (I think, we installed coils on our Mk1 in a sunday afternoon). The alignment is the tougher part. We just eyeballed it, and we are still playing with it.

Get a few buds from res to give you hand, I am sure you know at least one or two guys who are handy. Buddy of mine installed new struts on his '71 chevy in a wal-mart parking lot one evening.

You would be surprised where ive worked on my car. I live in an apartment with a gravel outside parking-spot. But i know what you mean haha it sucks not having a garage.

Re: H&R Race or Sport??

Im assuming it would be the same for MKV's but not 100% sure.

Install is cheap if you DIY! hahaha
