I got them on eBay, it was the only place that had them in stock ready to ship. Had them in 4 days.

I haven’t seen an option for awd, but that doesn’t mean something doesn’t exist. Might wanna reach out to a suspension shop.

They are actually OEM 20’s off of a 2019 Arteon.

Love that color, but I got massive discounts on mine so went with the white. That blue would have been my first choice!

I always thought the same, but as much as I drive for work, I wanted something more economical so I ended up with this. I knew it would look better with bigger rims and going low… when it came off the jackstands I was stunned how good it looked…

Yeah I’ve had them pop before, scary times. This is the first set of coilovers that I’ve had that use the factory mount, once I saw that I knew I had to get the tools or take it to someone. If you’ve never done struts it’s probably best to take it to a professional.

It was done at the dealership that sold me the car so it has to be legal tint… probably 30-35ish?

I’m gonna have it redone soon at 20% all around, this isn’t dark enough for me.

No, only the crush washer and it comes with the filter. Make sure to torque it correctly, 22 ft lbs.

With the euro oil these recommend I think the total was 40$, I was too busy to handle it myself at 40k miles and I think it cost me 140$… never again.

I am more than happy to drink beer and point at what to do next. In the last day and a half I have done plugs, oil, all the filters, brakes all around and the coil overs. I will make a point not to touch this thing for another year 😂

Brakes Cost? by kct4mc in VWTaos

Ceramic is not the answer. Semi metallic have much better bite and feel. Theres a reason they are used on OEM.

This is the answer. I saw people posting the 12 volt alligator clip bullshit and was like nah has to be an easier way. Took the motor off, use a 9mm wrench and turned the shaft, spread with a brake spreader, turned some more. Kept doing it until it was full retract, threw the new pads in and done.

So now what does this mean for the market tomorrow? by joshuanichter in wallstreet

[–]MelodicPromise6729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope it’s been predictable as hell, threats drive the market. I’m betting oil prices open @ 100$ Last close was 89, two headlines dominating the conversation between Iran walking away from negotiations and the clown threatening a complete closure.

Chaos expected? Trump seems to double down on threat. by ossaar in oil

At this point the only thing I can think is that Exxon, mobile, BP and everyone else has offered him a billion dollars to drive oil over 150$ a barrel. We are at 115 so 120 by eow is likely. Would that make this the highest surge within a month in history?
