The Great Debate

[NewaveRide]

ok, so right now i have the unrevised H&R sport springs on my car, carbonio intake, and greddy cat back along with some minor cosmetic stuff.

i got some cash flow coming in soon and i cant decide whether i should upgrade to H&R race springs and rear sway, or to go with GIAC.
(note- i have bad rake; 4 fingers under rear fender and 2 under the front)

if you guys can think of something else around the $400-500 range that could be better options then by all means make suggestions

what do you guys think?

I would say get the giac. With winter coming hold off on lowering - may be able to snag a off season deal. Off topic but I think i've seen you driving on 100 in exton. A buddy of mine lives down there and I play hockey there so I'm up and down 100 a few times a week.

i just got my giac a few days ago, it completely changes how your car feels and drives, and in a great way!

so much power compared to stock and its just refreshing to drive around in.

you wont regret it at all! i know i didnt!

how much gain do you get from a chip? for a rabbit? i can't see it gaining too much since it NA... just curious

You might gain 10-15 HP from a Chip on an N/A, honestly not worth the 500+ bucks you will be spending.

thats what i hate, its got some massive rake and its just not low enough. i have a feeling GIAC is next and then new springs will come after since they arent too high in price

 

[snowwhitegti]

just get some basic coilovers and have the adjustabilty, thats what im doing wright now...

 

[NewaveRide]

coils are too expensive, i think im gonna get GIAC cash and then H&R super sports and maybe an underdrive pulley on the credit card

You're forgetting we drive GTIs. He drives a rabbit. He might see 8HP at the crank while we'll see 50HP. Suspension first is my opinion. An extra 8HP won't really make you any faster. A good suspension set up will hold the road better and carry much more speed into corners. $500 for 8HP is not worth it.

Just my opinion.

Get REVO

well induktion is holding a pretty nice sale, so it looks like GIAC (only 300 not 500 like most are saying) no labor fees, and the maybe tien springs since they are running those on sale as well
