Undecided on a couple things...

Eibach 25mm RSB or no?

MAPerformance open intake (for sound only) or no?

If I were to do a sway bar I’d do front and rear, but plenty are happy with rear only. Just don’t fall for marketing bs on end links, OEM or Moog from rock auto/any parts store are fine

For an open intake honestly injen is perfect (priced right too). High quality filter and overall fit & finish. I’m running one with a grill scoop and it matches IE closed CF intake IAT (both cars running my FMIC & stage 2)

Considered doing front and rear, install time turning me away. Did rear only on my mk4 with blistering sports and springs. Did both on my mk6 with DG spring and oem dampers. Going eibach euro linear springs with oem dampers on the mk7 and thought the rsb alone (with oem endings) would be enough and easy install.

Had Injen listed second on my list. See them on eBay for 223, and the MAP is $237 with a 5% off coupon. Injen does include a hearsheild for that price tho. What’s the cheapest place to get the injen? Can you combine “make an offer” with eBay coupons? Do all injen units come with the moisture shield thing?

Is it a solid swaybar? If hollow, I would safely go with 26. I have a hollow 25 and would not mind some stiffening.

Flashed EQT’s OTS 93 stage 2 map today. Installed without issues but need to wait till my clutch is fully broken in to provide feedback.

Clutch installed 12/29, 580 miles. Feels really good, with some typical 4 ouch noises.

Eibach euro springs are quite nice. A solid 1” all around, linear and no reverse rake.

Hey, ..and welcome! Very sharp looking gti!

But, quick question, "cut out above grill"? I missed this one. What are we referring to, thanks in advance
