KW 3 coilovers.. you already have a front lip in a box, plus R32 rear.. if I were you dp would have to wait right after the coilovers which together with those body parts once taken out of the box and installed they'll totally transform your car. So right after that it would be a dp and continue with few more bolt ons like a cooler, hpfp (if you're FSI), wastegate etc. And then engine build and BT. So install the stuff you've already purchased and then...

1. coilovers (KW 3 would be my choice)
2. dp + stage 2
3. cooler
4. hpfp (if you're FSI)
5. wastegate
6. moar power....

You may want to consider replacing your dv as well if you're FSI. You want the OEM Revision "D". Do that with the coilovers don't waste any time, also check cam follower. If you're TSI never mind all that just do coilovers and skip 4.

Why coilovers first? Turn your car into a rocket if it's still trying to look like an SUV it'll look ugly. Your not racing in Dakar, after all.

If you read the post youd see he did already.

Haha, I skimmed through it thinking those were some of the option he had in mind. If you are more power oriented for 1,800 you could get water meth injection, Exhaust system, and rebuild your hpfp fuel pump. Otherwise get a quality set of coilovers and some nice wheels :thumbsup:
 
I would do koni coilovers and the rest towards the car payment...theres a website that sells then for less than 1000$ brand new.......do what you think its best. Just remember,if you want power, its never gonna be fast enough,u wil get used to it very quick.

Dp, water/meth and you will be set if you wanna go faster then coils, and put the aesthetic parts that you have already, onto your car and you will be looking good.

for $1800, i'd definitely go Stage 2 right away...

3" DP + tune = awesome 270HP

you're just a PUMP away from getting stage 2+

You can squeeze pump, pipe and tune out of $1800 man.
