My current thinking is
PSS10, nuespeed ARB's, WALK,
I'd like bigger brakes and an LSD, I will consider these after I see how acceptable the car is as a fast road everyday car before committing
Then consider stage 1 chip and perhaps a miltek catback to add a little vocal accompaniment. I figure 300 ish running shell vmax and a sorted chassis will hopefully be adequate.

that will be very adequate. it might be worth considering a pad/fluid upgrade to improve the brakes grip. If you consider that the S3/R32/Cupra all have 345mm brakes as standard to cope with the extra power they have (all well below 300hp as well). that said the R32/S3 brake setup is only a cheap mod. there are always sets on here going for around £250.

Well I have found a 2007 black 3 door manual with 23k miles, from a dealer, I will pick up the weekend after next :happy2:
I am still unsure as to which way to go with mods. Deinites are a Miltek back box, probably non res ? Either KW/Billies or VWR coilovers, ARB's so long as they are adjustable all look fine so either Neus, eibach, HR VWR etc. Probably a walk, some say not necessary with stiffer coils ?
Then Short shift to finish off. I will then consider a stage 1
Any votes for VWR, VAGtech or AMD as they are close enough to me ?
By the way any further thoughts on resale. Do people think if it was modded by VWR or AMD it might have credibility. What about credibility of VWR products on resale ?
Carrera2RS:
Well following a few more conversations I am going for .....
Bilstein PSS9 or 10
WALK
Neuspeed ARB's
Miltek Catback
I will pick my 23k mile, 1 owner black 3door next weekend :happy2: it will be stock for a week only :evilgrin:

....I vote for VWR without any hesitation. I'm fairly certain I was the first person from this forum to go there. MatED30 is a fanboy too. They even service my car - Had a oil service and DSG service yesterday and every 10k miles. I drive a 340 mile round trip to MK.

Id add the lower engine mount tothat as well. only another £100'ish but it'll get rid of the slop in the engine/transmission
