Ngl I love these types of videos with building cars over times

[MichaelFox]

You gotta upgrade those headlights. The base headlights bring these cars looks down so much!

You’re channel is literally the reason I bought a mk7 gti thanks so for the vids!! 🤙🏾

Generally a rule of thumb I go for when dialing in preload on the springs, is about a half inch spring compression in the front. Different manufacturers may be different or even come with a preset preload and not recommended to change it. As far as the rear, put the wheel on with a couple bolts....adjust the collars on the spring perch, then jack up the suspension so it's sitting on the suspension and not on the lift as much as you safely can and see where it's at. Trial and error and adjustment....continue to adjust the rear spring perch until you get the height where you want, then roll in the shock in to match the height. The weight of the car is the preload.

I’m loving this series! The GTI is looking real good. I’d upgrade the headlights as well.

So the camber adjustment on the top hat can’t be adjusted while installed in the car? 🙂

Love your videos man! I had a 2016 GTI Autobahn up until today when i rear ended another car at 45mph. Now im a former gri owner! I had a dp and tune ready but not anymore.

Instead of taking out the axel, I removed the 3 bolts at the bottom of the control arm and pushed down on the control arm and lifted the ball joint bolts up off the control arm. That way I didn’t have to take out the axel.

Just watched all GTI video's on a roll. Great vibe and content!

Just commenting to say that I picked up some BC's and was 100% overwhelmed by all the shit on them compared to the ST's on my MK6 and you addressed most of it at 6:11 so thank you.

Wouldn’t you need to do an alignment after putting on a coilover kit? I bought the same kit and I was just wondering if you need an alignment after putting them on

[benjamindippo]

Just upgraded to BC's on my car today!

[jakepalmer]

One of your best edits yet! Straight to business and easy to follow!

[jondinsmore]

I’m inspired by your patience and attention to detail.

On my mk6 gti I found out after raising the rear on and off jack stands 4 or 5 times if I shortened the rear spring perch by 2cm the ride height lowered by 3cm . This is because the control arm on which the spring assembly sits is anchored towards the centre of the car . ie if you want to lower or raise the rear by 5cm for example only make about a 3cm adjustment on the spring perch up or down . I wish I realised this sooner as it would have saved a lot of work .

Was gonna go with BC coilovers but you made me choose the Ksports, they’re like $300 cheaper and if you picked them they must be good quality

[robertbrathwaite]

You are a professional my dude!..love your work. I'm Getty my gti-07 mk5 in 2weeks..love to get these coilovers!!

[MichaelSmith]

That looks so flush and perfect! It sits just right 👌🏼🔥

[robzamora]

You can use a 2x4 with a hole to put bolt through and use a jack to lift strut out of the slot and to place new strut in. . Pretty easy and quick

Great video, but there is no need to loosen the driveshaft to swap out front shocks
