I want y’alls opinion on which route I should go with my build first?
2013 GTI 4-Door DSG.
Currently Stage 2 Stratified Pro-tuned. Approaching 70k miles and in the next few months I’ll replacing tires and brakes. I plan on going with Continental ControlContact Sports 225/40ZR18s and Stoptech Street Kit that comes with both F/R pads and calipers. Also going to do TyrolSport’s caliper stiffening kit + SS lines. Used the same brake kit back when I had a Evo X(rip) thought it worked well. Around the time brakes and tires are done I want to do some other upgrades. Car is a street car, I commute 4 days a week 80mi roundtrip to school. NVH doesn’t really concern me. Car will eventually be tracked and taken to the drag strip. Also eventually plan on coilovers Bilstein b14/b16 or KW V2/V3s, ok with stock height for now.

A.
034 Billet Dogbone Mount
034 Motor Mount Pair (Street)
HPA 75A Puck
TyrolSport Deadset Rigid Subframe Collar Kit
TyrolSport Deadset Subframe Kit Rear
H&R 28/24 Sway Bar Kit
SuperPro F/R End Link Kit
SuperPro ALK or SuperPro Control Arm & ALK kit
Whiteline Rear Trailing Arm Front Bushings
or
B.
Wavetrac O2e Lsd 25T
DSG Bearing Kit
Excelerate (Iabed) Rear Main Seal Kit
Bolts
+other necessary parts
Upgraded dsg filter, fluids
All the suspension parts/mounts would be installed by myself and my granddad’s mechanic friend who lets me use his lift and shop. The lsd of course will require professional install I’m guessing somewhere between $600-1000. I welcome any advice, suggestions for alternative parts/reasoning. Both routes run similar in price with labor factored in. Thanks for the help.
