Doin Werk!!! I'm working on finishing up the rear set up. I need help. Does anyone know how to get the rear bolt out of rear control arms? Not the one at the front that attachs to the hub, but the one with the toe adjsuter on it. I need to drop the control arm completly to finish what I'm trying to do. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh, and heres a quick action shot



I offically don't have any wheels for this car at the moment. The earliest one set will be here is saturday. The other set is probably a couple weeks out. Wish I could be done sooner

I have another update of pictures. These weren't really required, but they will be nice to have. I had OG Mason Techs on my MKV. It was time to upgrade. These are used but are the new Mason Tech design with sway bar brackets and custom powder coated wrinkle imola red.








I know this is looking like its just another air ride build, only on a passat. I don't know the mods for this section, but I'd kind of like to keep this thread here. There will be a lot more happening to this car than just air ride. It just happens that air and wheels happens to be priority numbero uno.

I'll give you guys the first teaser of one of the new wheels.

Okay so I have a SERIOUS issue with my build right now. Finishing up the rear tonight was doing some testing with it seeing exactly where the axle would hit the subframe. (actually looks like the camber adjuster will hit before the axle). Anyway, this is what I found.



So yeah, its making contact with the rear subframe pretty much at any height. So I need something much smaller in diameter. Who makes something smaller. Will a firestone style help me out? Will the taper help me clear this bag, and also doesn't a firestone fold into itself? Any insight from anyone, greatly appreciated. I'm supposed to be leaving for h2o the 20th (was planning on making a week out of it)

So another quick update.

FINALLY got my hands on the new wheels today. Got a chance to snap some pics of my own and do a little test fit.

The rear 9.5"s are just wonderful. Huge fan of these lips. Just the perfect size.

Heres the front. Not as much lip, but just enough.

Oh, and what would a wheel post be with out a test fit pic?
