Preface: Travis Rock
You saw the potential of this build a few weeks back, now comes the update. Our friend Ryan Hall sent us a nice series of pictures detailing how incredible this build is going, and the end of the road to that 10-point stance is now closed off; at the end sitting a perfectly slammed MKIV R32. Warning- Fender on tire content. May mess your trunks lads. Keep a spare set nearby.

Simon being the brainy lad that he is, decided that the front sway had to go, we just didin’t have time to fab anything up to keep it…. so his idea was to use a Autotech front strut bar to link the struts together, and so prep’d the strut bar endlinks so the struts would line up…
Next, Simon drilled out the end links of the auto tech bar…
All lined up
Simon then used the strut bar endlink as a templet and marked and drilled the strut towers
The picture above also shows the holes that were drilled for my previously installed ABD strut bar, still need to figure out what I’m going to do to fill these, may just weld them up, fill, and re-paint if I ever get around to doing my bay.
Next the Airlift struts were tested fitted and Simon noticed that they didn’t seat all the way down in the spindle, the strut housing on the spindle has lip that comes out and prevents the strut from sliding all the way though, at least this is true for Mk4 R32′s. Simon found that he could cut about 3/8′s off the bottom of the Airlift strut to get it to sit lower in the housing..
Simon sealed the struts with some primer sealer so that they wouldn’t rust from being cut down and then re-installed them, some shots with the strut bar bolted in with the struts as well.
Test fit
We kinda figured that the VN Lines poked too much and as of now when air’d out the fenders just sit on the tires, at this point Simon rubbed his PVW feature in my face and we continued to drink even more beer. 
Simon’s new project, 1.8t Mk1 build…
We got some temp lines ran to schrader valves so we could get the car off of the lift and check out the stance and test the bags…
Air’d out….
Full lift rear…
Next update will be running the lines and the hatch build, stay tuned mother****ers,
