hello all,

i just purchased an mk5 jetta and was wondering what kind of upgrades can be done.

the chip is done (500km into the chip and only getting better...)

the gti springs will give about 1" drop which is fine because my jetta has 18" wheels.

the stock clutch is able to handle the power so far...

are there any other parts that can be borrow from audi to improve suspension?


is the gti rear swaybar any thicker than the jetta bar? if so, is it worth swapping or am i better of getting an aftermarket bar; i cant go too wild as i have a wife and 3 young children.


what type of rotors/pads/brake oil can be used so i dont have to swap any parts but if its cheaper to swap i will. are gti/gli equivilant, will they fit on 16" wheels (stealies)?

thanks

evan

Cross-posting is not a good idea. I replied to your other thread in the TDI Performance Upgrades section, but this is the more appropriate section for this post.
