Yes, super lucky. My wife and I deadlifted the door up today 😆 and backed my car out.
You're lucky it didn't hit your car. My mom's garage door spring detached at high velocity into the roof of her car. Put a big dent in it.
And so far the new spark plugs are performing great @Kdubya but will give it a week to call the thing fixed.

Got the overdue alignment done again since putting on the fortune coilovers on, honestly still can’t believe how well this thing handles with just some good coilovers and a much lower center of gravity. And still leaps more comfortable than my GTI - Esp when you consider this is with 10k fronts and 10k(swift) rear springs,lol.

Nice thing about the location of shop is it’s right off this road where you can go feel it out right off the rack.

When we set the rear it was with weight in the front seat since when you go this low your camber curves go completely opposite and goes + when it compresses 😂, which you can see with the printout without a driver on that left rear.

In the end if feels great and when hitting a turn faster that you should in the mini SUV the car stays planted but your butts definitely pressed against the door or the center console with regular seats, but it’s super flush and rub free even on aggressive driving, so im
Happy.

Now I just gotta pay attention to the GTI and put in the tall joints and front subframe collar kit I have so I can get that aligned again with the new bags… cause this just magnified how messy my current alignment is since putting the new bags and rear lca’s on🤦🏻‍♂️

Also got these new caps from konig with the red but not really sure I’m gonna do the rest now that I see it… maybe I’ll just swap them and rock it for a few weeks like when I flavor of the week the shift knobs 😂😂

You cared more about showing it through your bumper than the easy install, admit it.Sticker boy.

I wouldn't get into the debate about stock location vs fmic but I will say FMIC look better, are cheaper, and I had IAT yesterday of 86-88 on pulls with ambient temperatures of 84.

.......And how else will I let the peasants know my car is modded?
