What to do - should I keep my 06 2.0 tdi Stylance?

[kezFR07]

Ok, im with you, pros and cons for both cars.

With regards lowering it, I will be getting some 18s, 225 tyres, nothing too wide.

Are Eibachs the springs to buy? I cant afford coilies or a full kit if I go for the remap/cupra bumpers

DOWIE

get some eibach sportlines pal iv just had some fitted

Another couple of things to consider:

- the pre-facelift FR has a (in)famously firm ride. Make sure you get a decent test drive to make sure you could cope with it (unless you're planning to upgrade shocks as well as springs).
- if you want the DSG gearbox, you'll need to get a facelift model if you want diesel... pre-facelift, only the TFSI model was available with DSG

I think if I were you, I'd stick with the one you've got and maybe swap it later.

Eibach is defo your best bet if you cant afford coilovers. Need to get mine rolling roading to see whats its running before the hybrid but thus far i have a custom exhaust, pipercross induction kit and revo remap

 

[DOWIE]

Is it worth saving up for the coilies? I want the car to be low, not just 20-30mm lower.

 

[Dave_88]

it is if u want uber low like mine. I got a set of APs.

Keep it mate and ad your own subtle mods to keep you interested in it. No point getting extra finance for what is essentially the same car.

 

[DOWIE]

Yup, its decided, Im keeping it. Missed out on a cheap BTCC kit tho , but there are Cupra bumpers going cheap too, so I think thats the way to go

i've got KW varient 1 inox stainless steel coilovers on mine, but there not cheap even for the V1's coming in at just over £1000 incl. fitting. quality wise, they're excellent.

Dowie, if your going to pop over to TTS Roadsport, i might tag along(if im not working) they look professional enough and would be nice to have a chat with them to see what they can do.

Will let you know when I go Martin, although they responded to an email, with a quote of £458 for a Revo remap. Is this cheap. pricey, average? That included a road test before and after

I wish I had £1000, but I think springs for now, then save up!

Well I know TTS are very reputable, just would like to know if thats a fair price, as they are only 10 mins away from my house.
