The big three is complete! Coilovers on Elsa were long overdue, like most things I do to the car. Just don't got no budget is all! But ride along with us as we install this kit from ECS to get Elsa scraping the pavement! That is until I raise it up for daily driving...!

Elsa has come a long long way since the beginning. Well done and keep them coming. Also, check out EQT, Equilibrium Tuning,if you're ever bored and want to take Elsa to the next level 😊

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

Thanks, dude! And I for sure will!

[@AyySway]

eqt has tuning for mk6???

[@markjordan4250]

I dig your videos, please keep them coming! Your boy's got the perfect lift set up in his garage too! I do have to say though, you can slow down on the stickers all over the car man 😅. Only being a little serious, it's your car, do whatcha like. Again, thanks for vids! I'm soon to be a Mk5 or 6 owner and your videos only make me want my own GTI even more.

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

Yeah, it was real nice to use for this install! And yeah, I don't think I've put a new stick on the outside in 6 months? Hahah, I'm putting them all under the hood now just so I don't overdo the exterior! And happy to help! MK5 or MK6 are great! Lots of similarities in mods, parts, installs, etc really just boils down to looks and interior! Either are awesome.

[@Antreyes]

Great video! What lift are you using?

[@brunopinto2061]

can you adjust the camber with these coilovers ?

[@juancervantes313]

So theoretically would these coil overs fit on a 2.5 mk6?

[@JesseReimer-dm1qp]

Ecs should have a different set for the mk6 golf. But this might be the same set. Their website will say

[@2unread]

whats the cost of only material ? btw. looks great :)

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

These coils run about $800 not on sale. Install kit is about $250 but only costs an extra $50 when bundled with the coilovers as a kit.

[@hannahkennedy2514]

Yay Cameron!!!!

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

Yay :)

[@korey420]

How are the coilovers? Im thinking about getting the ecs coilovers for my 2012 beetle turbo 2.0tsi e888 gen1 cbfa it has a cts ko4 turbo and supprting mods ( charge pipes, fmic, dp , ect) Working on suspension now.. the beetle uses the same coilovers as the mk6 but the beetles stock suspension is scary 😂.. so much body role and understeer... 😂😂

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

I like them a lot. Stiffer than stock and control body roll. I know they're cheaper than most and have a fairly soft spring rate but for the price, they're awesome and would highly recommend along with a rear sway bar!

[@korey420]

I just installed them.. my stock suspension was completely trashed.. the difference is night and day... now just waiting on spring to lower it some more..

[@ZuperPhresh]

thinking about getting these too. sounds like my end link bushings are shot. the previous owner had some coilovers so im not on stock suspension but im curious as to how the car will feel with new legs.

[@OrsonRadmil]

I’m so confused how does ur hubs have wheel studs

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

It's a stud conversion. Here's the link: bit.ly/3tZgUVg

[@alie-bb-brybry70]

Honestly I was hoping to see the car when done not to see you lots chatting away from start to finish, what a joke

[@nmkoza]

what wheels are those?

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

Factory Watkins Glen wheels.

[@Tantoblade1pd]

Just a word of advice, i would leave the Jesus stuff out of the videos, you might turn off a lot of people who may not have the same beleifs

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

I appreciate the advice but that's not something I can do. I leave it to the very end (where less than 30% of viewers make it to), don't shove it down people's throats, and am just telling people that someone does love them if they believe or not. Jesus is love and that's all I am trying to share!

[@markjordan4250]

I like your videos because of the Jesus in them. Can't please everyone so, Jesus for the win!!!

[@psiturbo]

@@TheParkingLotMechanic yes you can do it, this is an installation video, not a I believe in fairy tales.
