H&R are great for fast road and daily drive.
The Bilstein B16 is better for trackday use but worse for daily drive.
So, even if I have the B16 and I am very happy with it, I would say the H&R Monotube Adjustable Coilovers are better for you!

P.S. I can't stop looking at your wheels!
P.S.2 I found something odd at your car... the left fog grille... I think it would be a more elegant (and OEM) way if you buy the open fog grille (this comes with a cover to close it) and attach the black inlet to the back of cover. This way it won't be visible and it may funnel more air to the Cold Air Intake.  :happy2:

@rex And re the fog grills, I have these rare OEM ones with rear covers (below) in the garage, will have a play and see what it looks like.

Ive made the (heart breaking) decision to cease modding the Mistress.   :sad1:

I'll enjoy her as she is for the foreseeable future then when I have enough for the next project she will be split, returned to standard, part exchanged.......and I'll do it all over again.

Won't be for 18 months or so, gives me time to save and also time to deal with my future separation from the Mistress.

I'd like a little more power and more usable power so a DSG 4WD Mk6 R is my current thinking as I can use some of my power mods, add a few more, swap a few and go straight to Stage2+.......we shall see.
