ok guys im going to have a little chunk of cash to dump into my Jetta soon and here is what im getting..

Weitec Springs and Struts....60/40 drop(around $515 shipped)

Chip(around $100)

K&N Panel Filter, shave inners of the airbox for less restriction etc.($30-50)

then im sure I could squeeze out another small mod...maybe a short shifter..you guys decide...

Now I'm not sure on which chip to get..I want the most power gaining yet affordable solution...so shoot away...

:twisted:
