DIY: 2" Lift Kit for Under $40 - EASY!
Although the Metalnerd kit looks VERY well made and overall not a bad deal for what you get I didn't want to jump through all the hoops to get one. Soooo.....I fabricated my own kit. VERY little fabrication is needed for this kind of a lift and I found some very user friendly durable...
Otherwise ID parts sells "beef on a budget" lift

Probably the gold standard for 2" lift on the Mk4 is metalnerd's kit.
Although, I notice on their page that if the vehicle has ESC, it shouldn't be used. Didn't all A4 TDIs have it?

No. Maybe your thinking of ESP which the gassers have?Although, I notice on their page that if the vehicle has ESC, it shouldn't be used. Didn't all A4 TDIs have it?

My "03 Golf has it, I don't know about it causing problems with a lift though. The only TDI I own with it and the only one not lifted. Does someone have a thread referring to that issue?
