Paris 195mm Truck. Coming Holiday 2009.

[stringtheory]

Yeah, the new Paris trucks have some really decent facing right from the factory...wish my shipment of 195's would get here already! =/

saw these at my local shop, they had a made in china sticker underneath the baseplate, haha.

yes sir, 2000 mk4 jetta. slammed on coils

Sweet! I had a 2000 also; chipped, intake, mufflerectomy, Bilstein/H&R, Borbet, eCodes, drilled/slotted... loved that car -

[gnarwhale]

wait, so would these be long enough to "clear" the edges of a top mount...
specifically a comet voodoo doll?

I doubt it. They dont clear the front of my bombhills and the voodoo doll has pretty fat nose and tail.

Thats a nice looking mk4. Heres mine with RH Cuprads, weitec coils, bunch of smoked lights, Techtonics exhaust, 4 motion front valence, and plenty of other things i'm forgetting.

Sweet ride! I like blacked out, black Bora's. The wheels are perfect with it. Ok, I know this isn't Vortex forums so I'll desist from one of my other passions...

Back on thread: my 195's shipping from CA this morning. Hopefully they'll land in CO and be on the truck in the morning ... GAAH! ... enhance my calm ....

for those lucky enough to ride these yet:
how are those devine bushings? ive heard absolutely nothing about them yet, but if they're even remotely good im sure the'll be fine in those heavenly paris bushing seats

[Justin K]

They're awesome bushings, no doubt. I've been running my trucks stock topmounted on a Speedwing (29" WB) and they feel great up to around 40. For some faster/ driftier stuff I'm gonna throw a green Elim on the bottom. (I weigh 225).
I've got sphericals curing in mine now, once that's done I'm gonna switch to 42 plates.

Meh, just went for a quick run this morn. Sphericals really shine in other trucks IMO (Grizzlies and Randals, hangers with small seats) but with the Paris it's not an upgrade, IMO. Yeah they're twitchier, and grip a little more, but kind of a wash, and really not worth the extra work. (these trucks are for someone else BTW )
They're pretty sweet straight from the factory.

whoa got a writeup for those? i wanna make some

[lacxman7]

I cannot mount my paris base plates on my voodoo doll. I had randal plates on previously but when I try to mount the paris plates the holes don't align. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks

If your plates have 4 holes, then they're new school only. The new Paris plates are 6-hole.

I think that's right.

Not sure what a write-up is....like a machine program? Drill a hole that matches your spherical. JB weld it in.

How do these fit in randal 35 degree baseplates? Would I need to shim the pivot like with R2s?

Paris hangers fit great with the 35 plates, little or no shimming needed.

jesus christ, ghetto but I likey

where did you get the sphericals?

They are drilled for new and old school but the bottom two holes seem that they are too close together.
