Default Which mod would you do next?......

I am taking my TT in to the performance shop on Friday to have the OSIR front spoiler put on. I keep debating on whether I should lower with coilovers next or, swap out my current wheelset for something meaner,or get an exhaust. I really want a more agressive look to my TT but the performance gain and grumbly sound from putting on an exhaust (turbo-back) is very tempting. Cant do all at the same time, what would you do?


Current mods are APR stock and 93 octane program chip, hyperboost DV,VTDA, 3.2 rear valance, and Raffi's shift ****. I know....im just getting started.

Ask Kream of Wheat - he's done both, but my vote is Eibach Springs & Koni's 1st, then exhaust!

Default Save wheels for last

They really need to fit the look and are one of the most critical decisions. Get everything else around it first and then finish it off with just the right wheel.

Otherwise I agree, I'd go with suspension before exhaust.

the performance gain from the suspension should be tempting as well

Default I'd improve handling. Allthough I didn't follow my own advice, but that is due to the fact that my

car is under warranty.

Default Thanks everyone...I was thinking suspension too...

my TT is still under warranty but the local dealer is pretty forgiving based on their relationship with the performance shop. As long as the performance shop does the work they pretty much look the other way.

Thanks again! I should have pictures in a week or so.

Default My revised answer.....

Suspension still first. But start the search for the right wheels now! Took me a year and a half to find what I wanted. Fun time searching though!

Default suspension, but do you need coilovers?
