New 340I Owner

jtbazz · 11-29-2017, 09:14 PM

Hello everyone, I just got rid of my MK7 Golf R a couple weeks ago and got this. Help me pick next mod. Below is a pic with my summer wheels that came with car and my brushed aluminum forged winter wheels I just put on. I also just ordered a remus catback exhaust that hasn't arrived yet. What should I do next...coilovers? Any advise appreciated, I am new to mods.

Summers in black

The 19" brushed aluminum are my winter wheels. I work from home and have an SUV so 19's will work fine considering I will only take this out when I want and don't need to travel in snow daily in the winter.

Put DWS06 tires on for winter which I heard nothing but good things about for cold dry pavement.

I'd definitely go for coilovers or springs w/ spacers next. With that your ride will look pretty good already!

The summers are fun flats and the dws06 for the winter setup is non run flat.

Next mod should be a drive (or flight) down to the Performance Center in SC!

eluded · 12-19-2017, 03:19 AM

Looks good.... Unless the mods add horse power I would leave it alone.

Agreed! Carbon fiber and M badges if you want to look faster, HPDE if you want to be faster.

edit: great looking ride OP!
