I like cars. I like VW's too. Just so happens I own one.

moderation?





and R32s have independent rear suspension



I'm not a engineer but I know a bit about VW suspension, and VAG cars have some great shit.... IE the vr6 engine both 2.8 and 3.2l, I mean I like all cars somewhat, but they all have there downside, all of them. I mean a miata can out handle a s2k and cost a shit less. A tuned honda can beat a SRT4 and cost less. But I'm guessing the guy in the S2000 didn't want a miata, does that mean your gotta hate him for that? Well you guys prob do. My VW isn't slammed, tucked, poked, just lowered. But I don't hate cars with poke or boosted b16 just because Im not a fan of them.

Ok, here is the reason most of us do this.

Vw's are Slow, and handle like shit, wich is why i dont care at all about performance, i like to look dope rollin' down the road. I get a TON of compliments on the wheels all day long, even though they poke out about 25mm or 1"

and to those who "know" offsets, id like to see someone here run 9's all around on a civic, im going to make that my next project car, a clean civic with 9.5" TH lines all around, pulled and rolled fenders, slammed, poked, and stretched

You must read completely, to comprehend completely.
Has nothing to do with reading comprehension, since I wasn't responding to you =P Just throwing that out there in general; I think this post is what prompted it:

You want the widest tires you can run without rubbing or hurting acceleration, then you want the most negative camber you can run without hurting the braking and straight line grip.
In response to you though, do MKIs and MKIIs handle like shit stock? I'm genuinely curious, I've always loved MKII Jettas and Golfs and the one I drove was amazing around corners. It wasn't stock though...

See, the problem with that is you just end up with a civic when you're all done. Now, making wheels fit nicely on a E36 M3 (or really any other BMW) or maybe a FD, or something worth a fuck to begin with would be nice....a civic, not so much unless I'm helping one of my friends out that has one.
