Shouldnt be too hard on a GTI

I havent done suspension on a car since my honda a couple years back. It was a pain cause all the bolts were rusted.

After you jack up the car hit the bolts with wd40 and let it sit while you set up.

Not worth paying a shop for it TBH

if people buy cop cars rentals is light....

The abuse and lack of creature comfort features in cop cars are incredible.

The cars are damn near on its last leg if ya ask me.

Rental cars are all good in my book.

Maintained and clean. Just pay someone $100 to detail the inside and don't be blabbing to everyone you got 100K miles on a 2015 and you'll be ok ... [emoji]128514[/emoji]
 
different between cop cars & rentals though is cop cars are usually reinforced with heavy duty equipment and performance parts.

a rental is usually identical to consumer models.

and contrary to popular belief, sometimes having Spartan features in cop cars are a asset...less thing that can go wrong, and/or break.
 
been gone a long time

Does anyone here have any experience with LED headlight kits?

Been eyeing a kit from OPT7(only brand i see alot on yt)

other brand I like is VLED but a little too $$$
 
Copped the nanoskin bout a month ago and finally got to use it thanks to who ever recommended it a long *** time ago :lol:
It's pretty good for what it is tbh I park outside in the driveway and it got off most the stuff that was stuck in my paint

CVPIs are the GOAT beater car. Joints will rust out at 300k+ before they trigger a CEL let alone break down beyond repair.
 
The 2 best cop cars out there that I've been in contact with are the Crown Vic and Toyota Prius. Easy to maintain, low cost of repairs, and pretty much bullet proof.

Yup.

Them chargers though? Lord. So many problems that certain departments around the area let them sit or sold them years ago while they drive whatever SUV that they had just come out of for at the time new chargers.

Ive never seen anything other then chargers tahoe's and crown vic's going down 94 and I've been doing the stretch from Ann Arbor to Chicago my whole life
 
good looks bigslim773 bigslim773 will give them a try. not bad pricing for a H13/9008 kit.
Hows the color, im looking at getting a 6000k kit?

brockbo brockbo past AA closer to Romulus near 275, but im old so ive seen lots of police cars. Farmington or Livonia had Camaro RS with the 305 back around early 90s

ninjahood ninjahood Detroit has everything now, still push Crown Vics too, seen the Caprice a few times.
Toledo has the Taurus crazy, its basically a SHO with hd suspension. police are opting for awd now, explains why a lot are going suv route now.

I'm from Romulus. 

Taurus and Explorer are built on the same platform, which is why you see both used a lot as police vehicles. 

I remember the old Mustang LX notchback State Trooper cars you are referring to.  I always wanted one as well 
 
Most Taurus Cop cars sre non turbo fwds (at least around here). Been considering a Caprice, but Ive spoken with a few officers who drive them and they said they have a ton of issues, hence most departments opting for Tahoes or Explorers.
