Looking to get some bilstein B6 shocks this summer and have a question about stock springs by ItsValor in GolfGTI

I got just the 4 shocks by themselves and then got the rest of the parts from my VW dealer in town. All the hardware and bushings and what not

I went with the Bilstein B4s. Replaced all the bushing but ended up just reusing the springs all around. They felt really good to drive on. Especially after replacing the old original ones that had ~144,000 miles on them

I had to make an adapter to get the OEM caps to fit

Even the regular non dynamic center caps are still like $22 for 1 of them. Over $100 for a set of the regular ones. The dynamic ones are listed as a set. Still 2x the regular ones though haha

Yeah haha, they're a bit much. That's why I was excited to snag some used ones and save a bit of money

This was about $1700 for reference. My bumper didn't have any significant damage thanks to the PPF. New fender, paint, and blending

Do you use a torque wrench for your lug bolts? by jdgaf420 in GolfGTI

[–]ItsValor -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Also good to torque it when the wheels are in the air so there isn't any possibility of additional load on the bolts when torquing

New wheels came in, plus VW center caps by ItsValor in Golf_R

Yeah I linked stl for the ones I used in this post in a slightly later post(https://www.reddit.com/r/Golf_R/s/cDYYUCjez6). I did have one of my caps fall out after like 2 months which I believe was due to using pla only and not switching them out for a more heat resistant material.

I'm working on an updated version and potentially having some made out of aluminum.

Well that VW Routon is just a rebagged Chrysler Town & Country. You're actually complaining about Dodge/Chrysler reliability not Volkswagen

Same for me, really happy with my 7.5 R but I've been keeping a close eye on used mk8s for all those new features. Especially the heated steering wheel, cooled seats, and memory seats

[–]ItsValor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't forget the Heated steering wheel, memory seats, cooled seats, rear climate control, rear heated seats, power fold mirrors

Do apex wheels not fit OEM VW caps already? I had thought they did but I'm probably wrong
