While many classic owners are in the bleak moments of not knowing how to modify their car, Dave from NY was different. Owning a 1991 VW GLI, Dave already planned out what needed to be done and in a matter of time, a car that most tend to abuse was kept in pristine condition till today.

Today, seeing a VW classic or newer generation models on Air Suspension is not so much of a surprise. It's been a common suspension setup for a few years now and many Euro enthusiasts embrace this style. On the other hand, there are those who dare to drive in low heights without any electrical height adjustments. Dave chose to be that daring person and went with Weitec coilovers, dropping his ride as low as possible.

Opinions may vary, but a low ride height completes the car with the right set of wheels. Dave made the right choice of going with 3 piece 16" Panasport C8s.

Still not satisfied?
Then how about some impressive engine work. Maintaining the functions of A/C, ABS, and MFA/Check Engine Lights, the engine bay when through a makeover by a full wire tuck.
