Eibach pro street is a very very good kit, as is the Bilstein PSS range.

I would definitely look at the Pro-street kit at that price (approx £750) and as for the exhaust, Milltek is superb on the MK5.

KW V2's are about that price if you shop around, i had them on before my clubsports and the are ace. Ride is not to firm very similar to stock feel but work far better.  :happy2:

Herd that the pro streets are cr@p and you carnt go wrong with AP's, you can also get the fully adjustable ones well within your budget and probably have enough for a turbo back exhaust which does inlcude the downpipe, sport cat/decat and cat-back.

spool would be alot quicker and would allow you to map straight to stage 2.

noise would be alot better.

blueflame...i think with forum discount comes in £800ish maybe £850

miltek just over 1k
