Wife says get one or the other:

remap

springs/sport shocks

This is for a 2005 3.2 V6

Default Springs/shocks.....>

You'll feel and enjoy everyday. A remap on a 3.2 is only good for 10-15hp and won't be really noticeable witout a lot of other mods to go along with it..

Default depends on how you use the car, I vote suspension...>

Like schwing said, you can use it all the time. Most of my daily driving is to work and back, suspension makes it a little more fun. I really don't need a chip when I rarely get over 40mph.

If you are cruising on the highway everyday the suspension might be annoying when you start to feel every expansion joint in the road, in that case I would do the remap.

Default Defintely ... reflash on a 3.2 does not do much except >>>

remove the top speed limiter (not worth much) and raise the rev limiter (not sure if the US spec DSG will even recognize that and upshift at ~6400 anyways). Besides that, gains are minimal and you will forget about then in a week ...

Go with a good suspension setup ... IMHO the stock suspension on the 3.2 is very good (besides the wheel gap) for daily driving and occasional track use.

A rear sway bar and a blue Haldex controller make a big difference so you could put that in the mix of choices as well ...

Hmm didn't consider that. What type of sway bar and what exactly would the Haldex upgrade do?

thanks!
