Solo-Werks S1 coilover install VW Alltrack mk7 @DIYorDie Tech Shop

[@mikeparadis7347]

I called up Solo Werks for some general info on their S1 Coilovers for my '17 Alltrack. I ended up speaking with Jeremy who answered a ton of my questions about their performance in snow/ salt. He was very helpful and I'm looking forward to having these installed Spring 2019. Keep up the good work and solid KZbin content, Solo Werks!

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

Thank you Mike, appreciate the conversation and can't wait for you to join Team Solowerks!!!

[@bringbacktheclassics]

I just got these for my 13 Passat Sel, can’t wait to install them!

[@jaedencantwell6338]

I'm getting some for my 14 passat as well!

[@jabber1425]

Great video! Thanks, my questions were answered. Looking forward to trying out my new Solo Werks setup for my jetta tdi and future projects..🍻🍻

Very cool shop idea... great how to video thanks solo werks

[@TheIqarus]

Awesome video, getting ready to buy this set for my Alltrack. Do you have more photos of the VW in the video?

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

I have plenty of photos, just let me know what you're after. email me at [e-mail]

[@TheIqarus]

@@SOLOWERKSUSA no public page with photos? Either way I went and ordered a set of these. This video is a perfect example since I have the same exact trim/color of Alltrack. :)

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

@@TheIqarus We have some IG photos and such. But most of the images are the hard drive which I can email out.

Do you have the part numbers for the recommended strut mounts and rear bushings. Thank you.

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

Jason on this particular build we used 034Motorsport front strut mounts and rear mounts. PN rear 034-601-3001 PN front 034-601-1007-SD

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

@@jasonlaid1129 The OEM mounts are the best way to go, as there have been inconsistent quality in the aftermarket mounts. Plus being a high durometer rubber, the winters can transmit louder road noise through the chassis. Now raising the car up, be careful. Going to high you can top out the shocks. For the alignment, going down tends to cause major toe in eating your tires. Going back up will bring toe out slightly, couldn't tell you how much. I'd be curious. Many clients do it yearly with no complaints.

[@jasonlaid1129]

@@SOLOWERKSUSA Than you for the info. I look forward to the install in the spring.

[@nathanielcole7803]

I just received my Solo Werks S1 coilovers for my 2019 r-line vw jetta. They look amazing! Cant wait to install them on Monday. I do have a question, do you guys have decals? I was hoping to receive one within the box. But I definitely would like to buy one.

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

If you didn't get any in the box with your order. Please use the link below and will ship some out for free! shopsoloworks.mybigcommerce.com/solo-werks-decal-free/

Hi there. Please confirm the PN for the coilovers. I plan to install one on my 2018 Alltrack. TIA

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

shoot me a email [e-mail], depending on what your plans are. we can build a kit for you to your needs.

[@lopebalio8809]

@@SOLOWERKSUSA appreciate the help. Reason why I’m confirming the PN is because there’s someone here in Canada selling a brand new set for a steal.

What are the wheels on the Tiguan? Love them!

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

Wheels on the mk1 Tiguan are @rotiform LAS-R 19's, with S1VW007 Solowerks Coilovers.

[@akitadog01]

Hi, do you have any issues with carrying weight in the back? Are you hitting the bump stops more often on bumpy roads or is the spring stiffness enough to compensate for the lower height + cargo weight? Thanks!

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

No, I have photos with the car fully loaded top to bottom, including a roof basket stuffed as well. We do have another rear set of springs we can provide as well. So if you'd be pulling a tear drop trailer or something. It would give added confidence. Shoot us a email and we can provide more information. [e-mail]

[@bighin1]

What was the answer to snow and salt..do they damage or something

[@bighin1]

What was the reply on the snow and salt co.ment..do they damage in the snow

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

They have the highest quality zinc coating you can get, it's rated at 340hours of continuous salt testing. Good way to keep them clean is rub and spray T-9 Boesheild every season. We include a small bottle for install.

[@NB-ir1me]

The variations? Don’t all cars have the same? If it says it fits a 2013 VW Jetta sportwagen 2.5 s, they should be completely uniform, why should I have to measure???? It says it fits or doesn’t it????

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

You aren't providing enough information to give a solid answer here. Sportwagen from 2013 is a MK6 platform. Not even the same as this video. So I'm assuming you're talking about strut diameter? They are not all the same. Standard Mk6 Jetta S will have 50mm strut housing. Your Sportwagen will be a 55mm. If you need more info or help email me at [e-mail]

[@icxcnika555]

Have you guys updated your coilovers for 2020 ? Someone told you guys did..just wondering. My car is 2013 VV CC FWD 2.0T

[@dspindustries7493]

We're constantly making changes and improving things.

[@DPoner]

Can these run at stock height?

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

The rods are shorter for lowering, so you can't ride stock height. If you push them up to high they'll get pretty twitchy, and bouncy. I think 15 inch fender lip to center of the wheel hub, is stock. These will sit 13.6- 14inches.

[@DPoner]

@@SOLOWERKSUSA Thank you for the feedback. I’ll pick up some Bilsteins then.

[@Zharsergey]

Did you install the spring rubber isolator in the rear?

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

If you're talking about the top rear pad, no. You don't reuse that part. You only use the locking plastic portion in the bottom of the control arm.

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

No you don't use the oem spring isolator, on the adjustable perch is a isolator. If you use the oem one, it will not seat properly when installing.

[@markflopresti]

Where should I have mine installed

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

All depends where you're located, I can recommend a shop most likely if you want to shoot me a email. [e-mail]

[@JoeLouisPepsi]

Very rare that the diameter of the wheel & tire vary with different rim sizes...

[@RostykBoiko]

what is the maximum height on coilovers?

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

Best to email in, we have a couple options that we could work with. Just need more info from you. [e-mail]

What wheels are those?

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

Those are a 19x8.5 Rotiform FLG's with a 45 Offset.

[@rabity]

no spring compression? >.>

[@SOLOWERKSUSA]

Spring compression? Like for removing the old stuff? We used all new components and didn't need to compress it off.
