Decisions, decisions!!! I can't decide what to do to my R next. Maybe you guys can help me make up my mind.

[Sgt Nucci USMC]

As of now this is what my R looks like. The two options I can't decide over are as follows:

1. APR Stage 1+ with VWR intake or

2. APR Stage 1, KW V1 coilovers, H&R spacers, and Euro tails.

I'd love to do everything at once, but due to cost I can only do 1 or 2. I'd greatly appreciate any thoughts on what I should do, because I can't decide.

If i had the money, I would do option 1, in my opinion it would make the drive much more fun and would def keep me occupied while I try to save up for the the other stuff.

[TLud]

Option 1.

[Runz]

Option 1 + Window Tint.

Except I'd get the WINtake. Saves you almost $300 that you can put toward your LED tails or something.

[Bakerrrr]

Do you like looking at your car from a distance? or driving the car.

That should answer your question.

Love the black wheels btw.

[Atl-Atl]

Option 2 seems like a very good compromise between performance and looks. I'd go for 2.

Option 1 --> Keep it a sleeper.

Option 1 and next DP (stage 2) and WINtake instead of VWR.

[Cortexiphan]

Option 1.

[webcrawlr]

Can you measure your wintake canister and filter? The VWR intake appears to be a fair bit larger.

[Atl-Atl]

Option 1 --> Keep it a sleeper.

Putting an intake on is hardly going to keep it a sleeper.

[JLCVDUB]

Option dos..

[Sgt Nucci USMC]

Option 1 + Window Tint.

Tint is getting done tomorrow. Thinking of going with 20%.

[BigmountainVMD]

No one would know its in there until you take off... Isn't that the point? I can see if a car is running a DP/exhaust by the idle sound and look of the tailpipes that you could call no sleeper, but I would be impressed if pulling up to an R at a light with Stage 1+ and an intake that you would know it's any different from stock. And your average person would get an extra surprise thinking it a "nice" looking Golf.

If it bothers you so much why make a comment. You shouldn't even click on it.

I see your point.

[tmoe]

Option 1.

From personal experience adding the VWR intake after I had apr stage 2+ installed resulted in the most noticeable single change I did. The increase in mid range torque was unbelievable. I really don't know if anyone will dnyo compare VWR, Forge, etc intakes to each other but I would think any intake will result in an increase. I like the VWR system but the price is really steep compared to the other systems.

[ignitionlive]

option one. Love the intake with tune.

I surprise lots of people, they of course have no idea what the car is in the first place or the fact that tune, HPFP and intake are going on!

[ToeBall]

I have to agree with option 1 as well. After driving TLud's car at 1+, I ordered the pump kit the same day (though I went with an Autotech kit rather than a full APR replacement which saves $300 or so).

[Sgt Nucci USMC]

Thanks for the input. Looks like its going to be Option 1.

[ToddMcF2002]

Handling first, then power. Always.

[SOFLA]

Stage 1+ all day everyday. The car handles awesome from factory.

[TLud]

Normally, I agree. However, the handling on the R, like the Cayman, for example, far exceeds the power output.

At least she's getting closer. From your other posts, I'm curious to hear your take on it and see what you do.
