Finally got around to installing my Koni coil-overs from my TDI on the Golf. I installed them on Monday and had the alignment done today. I snapped some pics quick before work today and these are all from my iPhone: ![https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0tof8qxlHwA/UVzwkyOnQVI/AAAAAAAADtE/SrfZmwV_Miw/s1152/IMG_0498.jpg](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0tof8qxlHwA/UVzwkyOnQVI/AAAAAAAADtE/SrfZmwV_Miw/s1152/IMG_0498.jpg) ![https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-pDsGlEZRXaQ/UVzwk81sOkI/AAAAAAAADs8/HaS-uvGOTb0/s1152/IMG_0502.jpg](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-pDsGlEZRXaQ/UVzwk81sOkI/AAAAAAAADs8/HaS-uvGOTb0/s1152/IMG_0502.jpg) ![https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-RcGwnswQr30/UVzwk_ZIKXI/AAAAAAAADtA/lri7f2s7hmM/s1152/IMG_0500.jpg](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-RcGwnswQr30/UVzwk_ZIKXI/AAAAAAAADtA/lri7f2s7hmM/s1152/IMG_0500.jpg) ![https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-K7Ufhk0p7ho/UVzwlnWpedI/AAAAAAAADtM/o_aRHLsiGJs/s1152/IMG_0505.jpg](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-K7Ufhk0p7ho/UVzwlnWpedI/AAAAAAAADtM/o_aRHLsiGJs/s1152/IMG_0505.jpg) ---

Not 100% sure yet. I do like the R wheels a lot and it’s my DD so I try to keep from adding toys to it. I have issues though, so we’ll see. I really like the VW motorsport wheels: ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y38/eastcoastminiz/5k0-071-498-A20-AX1.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/2/4/243b27664ce0bab3d7f3f6990eaf588c726a0c3e.jpeg) ![http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i32/softballbud31/Wheels/5I9O0412-2011-12-22at15-37-54.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/8/f/8f52480fb622c8507dfab49ffa85bdd41effe6d7.jpeg) ---

> [@Vovchandr"](#): > > Didn’t know you even had an R. > > Looks great! > > All iPhone pics? Look good. Thanks Vlad. I traded in my TDI in November. Definitly missing the mileage but with my 4 miles commute to work it wasn’t really justifiable owning a highway fuel sipper. It wasn’t even enough of a trip to get it up to temp in the winter months. I wanted AWD again and I narrowed my choices down to a preowned B8 Audi S4 (2010-2012) or new Golf R. I decided owning another used Audi might not be the best plan, so went new R. Love the thing! Yes, all iPhone 5 images and processed quick with Adobe Lightroom here at work, lol, > [@Step Brothers](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/step-brothers/52216/17): > > Solid work. Thanks man! ---
