Finally MK II RSK up front, MK I Raceland out back. Three inches of clearance from the crossmember up front. No bottoming issues, but rear wheel comes off the ground on big curbs! Rides decent, not bouncy like using MK II all the way around. Still thinking about switching to the MK I up front with a little spindle work.... Interior is almost finished too. Purple and gold, I am in LSU country after all. Two seats, with a storage bed and rockford gear in it, pics later.

looks great! how did you get only 2 of each? I have some mk3 fronts, I just need rears, does raceland sell sets of 2 if you request it?

I did not, what I did is bought the RSK's first, then when I blew the MK II rears, I bought a set of the Raceland MK I. I only changed the rears not the fronts... yet. They do not sell them in sets of two, although if you hang around VWVortex, you can sometimes find fronts or rears.

It looks really good! nice work!

Thanks. I'm still testing the setup in everyday driving, and so far no scraping or rubbing...

Here are some more pictures from around the inside of it. Quite a bit of work has gone into this car. Actually, this is the third complete rebuild of this aveo. She's my daily now, back door handles shaved, doors sealed shut. Rear seats removed, and a bed built in the back. Since I am a Microsoft Systems Engineer, I use this to haul all my gear around to different job sites. I plan on taking and posting better pictures after I clean the interior... LOL!

Did you do the interior work. Not my style but that's really cool!

your looking pretty low down lol.

Yours looks good. my mk2 fronts still have lots of room to go down, not sure taking another 8mm out of the spindle is worth going to mk1 coils. Although it would make it nicer for those guys to only buy one set of struts...

As for the mk1 coils. you can sometimes find people who sell replacement parts for coils, BUT if you buy a set of mk1 coilovers, the fronts are good for people who have rabbit trucks. So if you can pair up with someone, or sell them to a vw rabbit truck owner, you can still got out of them what they cost you.

esetuning sells KW coil overs in single struts

look's pretty kool from the out side, the inside look's good.

Thanks for all the props. I agree rabbit. I have been toying with the idea of shaving that 8 mm too, but the ride with this setup is better than any lowrider that I've had before, and I have been driving lowriders for about 10 years. I think that if I switch to the Raceland MKII up front, that the ride quality will improve more. I put a lot of miles on mine, as it is my work car. I have two other projects in the works now as well. I have toyed with the idea of the MKI struts up front, but I agree with you rabbit in that I still have 3 quarters of an inch up front and a inch and a half out back, I don't know if I want to go to the trouble of removing the spindle and grinding another 8 mm off of it. I do know the Raceland MKI do line up bolt wise with the spindle. Already checked after the fiasco with the Rokkor MKIs from another aveo owner. I did the interior in the back. I have a friend who sewed up the seats, and wrapped the sills in two stitched together colors. The black square on the passenger side floorboard is a 31 band 1/3 octave equalizer by kicker under tinted plexi. I made sure that what wasn't painted on the inside was wrapped.
