I'd also save up and get some fully adjustable coilovers for it too rather than just a lowering kit.  That's just me though...

may only release 5bhp but it makes throttle response much better and makes the power more linear which makes more difference.. as above tho panel filter and exhaust..

i will also be getting a pipercross panel filter and having a full stainless steel exhaust before remap

my mate is breaking his 1.8T as its been ordered off the road by police, so i may enquire about his front brakes, whats the situation with rear brakes? same size or bigger on the 1.8T?

lol, well he isnt be best of drivers, but he still didnt drive it as it should, but he was caught with 4 bald tyres and a cracked windscreen, but he cant afford to repair so hes breaking the car, shame really

to add, about coilovers, i was looking at these, but considering ive got one kid already and one on the way, i dont want it to become too uncomfortable, so softish lowering springs should be fine, nobody will know :wink: lol
