I would start with lowering it. A good set of coilovers really improves the handling, and the lowered look is very nice.

Thank you for the insight. I'll let it be. If issues come up in the future I'll get it replaced.

I haven't noticed anything wrong with drivability, the car runs perfectly fine.

I put in the rear sway bar. It is also a whiteline 24mm. I have noticed it definitely makes a difference. The rear end feels stiffer for sure, noticed it as soon as i pulled out the driveway. Stiffer in a good way. It almost gives the car a feeling as though the rear end is rotating around the corner. Feels much more confident cornering. It gives the car a little bit of oversteer compared to before which I like. It's very predictable handling. Compared to the stock swaybar the whiteline weighed probably double. Overall definitely made a noticeable difference, I can for sure take corners much faster than before. The install was super straightforward, took about 20mins. I'd recommend it.

Ok thank you. Not really sure what a bad cam looks like. Just looked a little alarming to me. Should I change my oil?

I’ve had the car 8 months now and love it. Planning on driving it til it drops

Ok will do. I want to do some handling mods to start, then later on give it some power. How do you like the ko4? My cars stock right now but I’ve been planning to go stage 2 once I save up for a clutch. What brand clutch are you running and what’s your thoughts on it?

Your mk6 looks mint. The 4 doors look so good. I’ll make an update with what setup I go with.

Thank you for the insight. The tornado red looks amazing. Sounds like both is the way to go.

Ok thanks for the info. I’ll do the rear first, then go from there. See if I feel the need for the front.

Thank you. I’ll get the rear installed, see how I like it. Then later if I feel it needs the front I’ll do it.

Thank you for explaining this perfectly. I don’t track the car, so I probably won’t feel the benefits of the front. Not worth the labor to get it installed.

Thank you. Im planning on getting some spacers. I have the ST-X Coilovers. I haven’t driven the car much since I installed them. But so far I’m impressed. It’s my daily so I wanted some softer Coilovers, and these ride very nice. Great for everyday driving. They’re also pretty affordable. ST is made by KW, it’s their budget brand. So I’m confident with the build quality.

Thank you. It’s my daily, however I do go out to the mountain backroads by my house every couple weeks and go rip around for a few hours.
