Looking for a new or used local exhaust preferably APR like below. With the MK8 rolling out somebody's trading up out there!

It’s a hike from the city but GRD Tuned is good, last I heard. Thinking about going there for APR stage 1 this summer.

If all I want currently is to lower my car, are springs my best option compared to coilovers? I’d like some stiffness but not sure that I want to spend the money now.

YES, a great way to lower it for under $300.00 if you install yourself

Just springs on stock struts = pre-maturely blown struts.
Ever seen those shitty Honda civic driving down the highway with the Honda bounce?
The springs will lower the car and will work, for a bit, but then you're going to have to replace the struts anyways. Do it right the first time rather than doing it twice.

GRD Tuned is excellent! Very thorough and completes the job properly the first time!

^ Like he said. I've used GRD for over three years without issues.

anyone in west/north burbs (i'm in morton grove) with an obdeleven i can use for a quick tweak - adaptive lane tracking? Mine crapped out few years ago which i used on the gti - this tweak is for the family vehicle which will see some decent highway usage in the coming days. Please PM if someone is out there. Thanks!
