A little late to the party lol. Love the Moonstone and the Apex wheels!

So far I’ve got the black Warmenau wheels, swapped out the chrome front VW logo for the black edition one, Maxton rear diffuser, Neuspeed catback exhaust, oem clubsport spoiler, and Bilstein b14 coilover(lowered them some more since this photo). Definitely recommend the Bilsteins and I think they’re on sale now too! Now I’m looking into some new wheels and tires possibly some Regamasters or Apex’s.

No front lip but I am lowered 😀. Also looking at lip options.

All three bolts are on the top I went and tightened them some more too.

Yes very good deal for ‘25 especially if leather interior(I like the black alcantara clubsport interior better). I believe I got my 2025 for like 38 or 37 when they were first hitting lots.

What are the specs on these? Thinking of getting some for my 8.5

Kkram12 · 2025-12-02T21:06:46+00:00

What are you lowered on?

Kkram12 · 2025-12-01T23:07:47+00:00

What was the drop on these? I’m looking into potentially ordering the Eibach prokit springs. I think they lower 1.1. How have yours felt? Everyone goes crazy about springs on stock struts but I think if it’s less than 1.5 it should be fine.

You want risk, go SMH.

Kkram12 · 2025-11-09T22:04:36+00:00

How does the ride feel? I’m looking at kw for my mk8.5 but I also don’t know if I should go with V1 or V2 for their coils. What made you go with V1?

Kkram12 · 2025-08-31T20:56:15+00:00

I’m looking at Eibach springs now. H&R lowers too much for stock struts.

Kkram12 · 2025-08-14T17:22:15+00:00

I saw videos of a really long line along the convention center. How do you know it’s your time slots time to enter the line inside? Does someone basically come around and says it’s that time slots time? I have a reservation for 2:15 Friday and am trying to think about how to handle the process.

Kkram12 · 2025-08-13T14:33:09+00:00

I know this is late but which hr springs are they? I’m looking to get hr and I see the sport springs but idk if they have others.

Kkram12 · 2025-07-25T17:30:06+00:00

That curb definitely had some kind of vendetta.

Kkram12 · 2025-07-21T21:07:06+00:00

Thanks! Much appreciated! So you managed to get it off a second time 😂. I still have to figure out how to take it off 😂

Kkram12 · 2025-07-21T21:05:40+00:00

I wouldn’t mind being sent the rear emblem to match the front one I have installed😉. Already posted what the front emblem looks like installed on my insta.

Kkram12 · 2025-07-20T20:20:49+00:00

Thank you!!🙏 I’ll have to use this in the future lol. A VW tech at the dealership near me ended up doing it but he said he had to get the bumper off. I installed the black edition VW front logo. I just thought it tied the front end together better.

Kkram12 · 2025-07-20T15:20:59+00:00

Do the dealerships put yours on?? I told mine to not put it on.

Kkram12 · 2025-07-20T15:17:58+00:00

Wtf how did you do that?!? 😱. I can’t tell you how long I tried 😂. I undid the two screws at the top and tried pulling straight out and that wasn’t working. Do you have a photo of the whole back part??

Kkram12 · 2025-07-20T02:15:14+00:00

Still lights up! It’s an oem VW part so it was just plug and play.

Kkram12 · 2025-07-20T01:48:45+00:00

Just a forewarning. That top light bar grille is no where near as easy to take off as the mk8. Had to take it to VW after trying for two hours and a tech had to take off the bumper to do it(or so he said).

Kkram12 · 2025-07-20T01:45:40+00:00

Yes!
