    New dc5r owner (soon) need advice for mods

    Yellowspeed ROAD Coilovers

    ran b14s on my old cupra and my bocanegra- super comfy and really really high quality item. personally a bit to soft, and didnt go "low" enough for what i wanted but if thats not important the billstein is probably the best ROAD coilover going.
