Perhaps it's because I'm fast approaching 40, but I never really understood the whole 'stance' thing on modern cars
I mean, why would you take a car with perfectly set up suspension and geometry and slam it to the floor so it handles badly and can barely be driven on a normal road
Golfather's your boy when it comes to slammed RS cars. He's always posting them up
Not that there's anything wrong with them, they're just not to my taste
Old VW's etc maybe suit it a bit better, simply as they handled and rode crap from the factory, so you're not making it any worse

Agree 100%. I'm 37 and have spent/wasted thousands over the years on 'modding', but the whole 'stancing' thing I just don't get. Speaking of which...

Best thing I ever did to my b7 was rip the crap DRC out and fit coilovers and arbs
Transformed the ride,if the car is totally slammed then it is obviously going to affect the ride quality, however if it's done properly it works well.

One of the cars has smoked rear lights, whilst that particular car looks a bit OTT I would like a subtle smoked effect on the rear lights just to tone them down a little, does anybody know how this is done properly?

Maybe worth asking the bloke with this b7 about the rear lights

Air ride is the thing. Thinking of getting new wheels like these Rotiforms
