Hey guys, so i drove around in dubs during the winter and had an absolute slammed gli vr6 and then went to a 1.8t on coils. during that time i spent a lot of time on the vw forums and if you learn one thing there, its that there is a proper way to lower a car. The mk4 jetta which covers the years of 1999-2005 requires a frame notch, control arm notch, possible motor mount spacers, and in some cases raxles to try to prevent the axles seizing up. I experienced a blown cv joint and i wasnt even low enough to need a frame notch, however i did hit the control arms on the sub frame when i hit a big enough bump...
my question is are there any things anyone has experienced with your lowered 9th gens? iv been low for a while and havent had any issues but i recently started getting somewhat of a vibration in the front end when i go into and come out of a turn in gear. My worst fear is that my axles are acting up because of how low i am, but i only have 20k and only about 7k of that is lowered.
How long have you guys been lowered and have you had any problems?
and anyone thats spent a decent amount of time looking at suspension components have any input?
i have yet to get an alignment because i recently installed coilovers once again and have only been driving for a few hundred miles while i get the ride height where i want it so this could be a part of the vibrations.
thanks in advance.
