    I've been working on my driving and throttle control in first gear and its makes considerable difference. Time to do some search for a good deal on springs...Maybe get a group buy going?

    I would be interested in a group buy for springs (and maybe dampers eg Koni FSDs if they become available for the mk3??)

  3. I've had my vRS for just three days and already I'm thinking about doing some mods.. crazy huh??!?
    Here is what thinking about so far:
    I think the ride height is a little bit high... Maybe lowering this beast a little... (how much though is the question) And if I'm doing this is it worth doing the suspension and how about front and rear swaybars... hmm
    ECU stage 1 remap... just hard to choose who to go for... I'm going backward and forwards between APR and REVO. Edging a little towards APR though.. from everything I've read it's a little less severe and may suit my driving style better.

    VWR Springs, H&R or Eibachs should be fairly cheap, or you can full full adjustable KW coilovers. Won't be disappointed with either tune.

    Having used shorter springs on stock shocks I'll never do that again
    It reduces your shock travel, bottoming out can be an alarming experience

    I dropped ~25mm - it looked cool but was a real pain from a usability point of view
    Always having to remember to be careful with drive ways - not to mention the toe bar slamming into the ground, it only got worse when fully loaded
    So I went back to stock height (and a better spring/shock package)

    Stage1 did not really impress me - stage2 was a much better outcome and better bang for buck

    DNA or Custom Code

    What's a seaboard?

    if you lower it cut the bumpstops as well. I agree with Martin - lowered can be a pain.

    If I was doing it again I'd look at Sachs, BC or Racing Logic coilovers

    Seaboard was meant to be swaybar... but my phone decided it knew better and auto corrected... grr

    rear swaybar - most certainly. it transforms the car's handling characteristics.

    i wouldn't bother with a front swaybar, being a fwd car. instead, put the money aside for a downpipe.

    ecu map - most certainly. it should've come out of the factory with stg 1 already.
