Back in the saddle

I just bought an 03 DSG to replace the 03 DSG I traded in for my 06' F150 4x4 wihich I still have.

The only mods I can see is the Bassani CB an the rear looks dropped. It had 29K mi and you could eat off the engine compartment. The interior is in ex conditioIn. It has the same door jamb date as my old one. I'm going try and get the born on date. Old date was 03/03/03.

Here's a Pic: Does the rear look dropped? It does to me and I haven't climbed under to look.

Thanks, That's what I think on the drop. I measured 18.5" give or take a .25" from the axle to fender.
I have a build letter coming from SVT. My # is 2424. I'm thinking 03/13/03. My old one was 03/03/03.

I taking it in to Mike T. on the 17th Aug for CAI, Metco 6# lower, Traction bars. MAF upgrade, tranny mod valve, denso's, ported blower, drive shaft loop, tuner, dyno tune plus something else I probably missed. That should wake it up a little. Next would be long tubes, torque converter, electric fan, cop upgrade.

look at your shackles, and see if they are aftermarket it could have aftermarket springs as well

I talked to Metco. It seems I would have fitment problems if I have the belltechs and the Bassani. So I just said the hell with it and bought the Dynatech headers and the Maggie catback. So I will have a Bassani CB for sale.
