I was going to mention that yesterday.. Perhaps too low for daily use.

Never too low for daily use

Anthony that actually kinda works with the jetta front

It's pretty easy to do yourself. Only need a couple 'special' tools, like valve spring compressor, and socket for the head bolts.

Valve spring compressor to do a head gasket?!

[Surfpig]

getting a quote from a local mechanic anyway

[Jarred]

Well if would be pretty silly to put a head straight back on without it getting hot tanked and skimmed (flattened, not shaved) imo.

In which case, you'll need a valve spring compressor for when you put the valve assembly back together. VRS kit and headbolts should have everything you need to complete the job (parts wise)

Small bumper prep?

Or just cutting the lip for wheel clearance?

[Surfpig]

well, its kinda a cheating photo.

this was when i was installing my coils and cutting mounts for the plastic fenders so i could smash and roll my guards.
