Gilbert, Matt and the rest of The Scraped Crusaders made their way to the 24th annual June Jitterbug in Niagara Falls last weekend and judging from the pictures had one heck of a good time.
Here are the photos Matt took at the show with captions written by Gilbert (the lead blogger over at The Scraped Crusaders) who’s not a VW aficionado but a stance lover none the less.
Rolling Shots
The best part about heading out to a show as a group is the opportunity for rolling shots.

Whats goin on, thanks for the kind words about the car, im loving my current setup too!
Im on JOM coilovers, they’re basically rebadged V-Maxx, the fronts have 4 threads left, (i know, i should have put it down all the way) and the rears are all the way down. Neither front nor back have been modified in any way (removing helpers / collars / perches) but chances are they will be in the future.
My spacer setup is kinda funny, the rears are spaced out 15mm and the fronts, a whopping 3mm, looking to get 7.5 or 10 in the front soon, and maybe 17.5 in the rear as im just a few mm from being flush in the back.
Problems.
Luckily at this point im not rubbing on swaybar on my axel (which is weird because most jettas/golfs do at that level) but i guess im just lucky. There are some minor rubbing issues when I’m at full lock, or when the car is packed and I hit dips in the highway, but hey, if you ain’t rubbing you ain’t dubbin!
Thanks for the info Mat. The car is gorgeous. I just picked up some Aristos for my Jetta, and the fronts looked the same (didn’t notice the 3mm, sorry, haha) but your rears sit a lot nicer than mine do now.
How do the JOM’s ride? I’m debating between budget coils or maybe spendin a bit more and going air ride, but I’m not sure how I want my stance year round. Do you scrape a lot at that height in the GTA? Would you still rub at full lock without the spacer?
the green rocco and red rabbit VRT are amazing cars. They belong to 2 of the Klammer brothers and are so clean its ridiculous. and Dan’s MK2 VR6 on the D90s…drool. I see these cars on a regular basis and I am amazed everytime….

Everytime I see a jetta coupe, it makes me wonder where mine went.
