My TDI wagon should arrive in October...when exactly I don't know, and neither does the dealer. But in the meantime, I'm starting to ponder it's future.
1. Wheels. The stock 5 spoke aluminum wheels are just plain bloody aweful.....Longbeaches might be in order. Does anyone run their LB's in the winter with the appropriate rubber?
2. Suspension. The TDi has to have the largest wheel gap known to man. I've tried just the spring thing before without doing the struts and it was terrible. Coilovers suck....I'm getting old I guess. I'm thinking of trying the sport springs offered by the dealer as my insurance company frowns on anything "aftermarket" even though they are made by Eibach. Is anyone running this setup now? I would like to take a ride in their car if possible to see how the ride quality is before I commit to any suspension changes.
3. Body Kit. I doubt I would put one on right away, but this is what I'm thinking. Projektzwo front end, if anyone knows of a used one please let me know, these are not sold in NA anymore. Votex side skirts, and paint the rear valence.
The engine will remain untouched until the warranty runs out.
Anyhow, let me know your thoughts. If anyone knows of any of the above mentioned gear that someone might be selling, let me know. I'm not in a rush since the snow is right around the corner though.
Thanks again,
Adam

for a wagon kit i've seen some on vortex that are hot with just a simple GLI lip added on.. then do the votex sides,etc from there
For suspension Simon L (Boy Racer) has a hybird H&R cup kit on his car that is a nice balance and he can also get you the parts too!
