    A decent set of tires/rims? I know coilovers are fantastic but you have to work from the bottom up, and tires is one of those things... Plus they'll look a packet better than the stockers!

    What chip would be best for a Mk4 GTI? Also would it best to do the exhaust and intake to get the most out of it?

    I'm a newby and just wandering what the prices for all of this would be?

    This is the question of the century. We are yet to see them all tested on an ideal platform in set conditions so no one can really say which is better. Truth be known they are all fairly similar. I'd suggest going for a drive in one to see which you'd prefer.

    You'll get a different answer from everyone. But honestly, I would go to the closest dealer, either GIAC or APR.

    For instance, APR was close to me, has great R&D and high quality products, so I went that way, it's just nice to know that someone is only say a 15 minute drive from your house, if you have any issues.

    Other chips may go harder, I couldn't tell that you to be honest, but I can say my car goes MUCH harder now than it did stock, which is all I wanted really.

    (I decided to do chip/exhaust/intake all at once, so the performance increase was quite dramatic, to say the least)

    I agree with Snowy. One thing to look for is for opportunity for future modifications. If I had of gone for the cheaper alternative to what I have I would be stuck right now at a cross road for what to do next. I would have either had to fork out for software again $1500+ but because of my choice I now get software upgrades for free

    $2400 for KW's.

    The hawk is actually trying out some supersport coilovers from germany. They're less than half that, I'd wait till you see how that turns out first before jumping into over 2 grand worth of suspension... Or... just save up for an R32, they drive like they're on rails anyway!

    It's actually these ones I ended up going for, not the supersports.

    Be sure I'll let you know how they go. They are due in "the week of the 28th". Hopefully closer to the start than the end since I'm on holidays till the end of that week and will get a chance to put them in, and more importantly, have a play! I also have a Neurospeed strut brace on it's way too. Should all be going in by the end of the month. *fingers crossed*

    Ahhh ok... This guy's a sponsor isn't he? Managed to twist his arm and get a discount eh hawk?

    I was having a look at those earlier. If my shocks spontaneously combust or start leaking due to age then I'll definitely get a set of the cheaper coilovahs, pity I've already spent so much on eibachs and install...

    And its not like the little GL is going anywhere in a hurry, let alone on a track.

    28 days and counting hawk
