81 Rabbit S

Post by YASHA7FOLD »

So I picked this up from 4est a while ago and never really started a thread. So here it is. It is ABA swapped with a Raceland 8V header. I also just purchased a set of coilovers. I should have them installed next week.

I also replaced the breaks on all four corners along with wheel bearings. It also has 14's from a 1999 cabriolet.

I got a set of Raceland's. I liked their header so I thought I would give the coils a try.

Somebody on here installed a set as well as some other peeps I know in Oregon. They seem to be decent, I was leery because they are inexpensive. I will have to take a ride when you get em installed.
