KYB AGXs or KONIs are great buys.

You wont be gettin' an STi unless you feel like traveling to Europe or Japan and having one shipped over.

However, with about another $10,000 dumped into an American WRX, you can make it look and ride like one... it'll take a bigger turbo, a bit of a different ground-effect package, and some exhaust/emmissions work.

Overall, the WRX is a better choice... Toyota is coming out with an ADW Turbo'd Celica... but the herritage of the WRX speaks for itself.

We just threw 2 12" HE2s and a Rockford 700s into a 2K2 WRX at my work, and it was SO ****ING LOUD! It was a peach to install too :)

Retro. Nice choice with one minor drawback. As of yet, VW has not announced that any sales of the r32 in North America. When they do, the GTI goes to my GF. Side note, there is a rumor that a 250+ hp 4motion golf bodied car may be available in 2k5, not as an r32. This is part of their "upmarketing" attempt. Also, the price of a r32 overseas is running around 35k usd

As far as lowering. I just installed a H&R Cupkit that lowered my GTI by about 1 3/4". The great thing about cupkits is that you get springs and struts in one package.

For you honda guys, http://www.atomicautosport.com/ has tokico spring and strut sets for 370.

Forgot to say... Get the WRX

Yeah I know, it sucks that canada got all of them(I believe there were like 25 or something). I was just about to get bilstein shocks and struts with H&R springs but found out from my body shop that the car has some serious structural damage that was there before i got it and it can't be fixed so I basically have to scrap the car but I'm looking for an A2 Jetta Coupe that I can swap everything into. Do you belong to the vortex banzaimf? It's the best online vw community there is besides the MK 4 forums, (those guys are only about body styln'it seems like and don't really know too much) reminds me a lot of this forum.
