There are a few certain parts in our industry that we see a lot of people upgrading and for excellent reason. ECUs can boost power and performance with a simple upgrade. Springs increase ride comfort and drastically change the overall appearance of your vehicle in a flash. An intake can improve driving experience, power and even fuel economy at times. Most people get just one or two of these. This Golf R got them all!

Piece by piece, the intake gets built





Gotta make sure that R is everywhere. :thumbup:


And last, but certainly not least, the Powerflex bushing. The style chose was a track set up, which are made with stiffer material, in turn allowing for less movement.




Golf Rs are great to start out with, but with a few simple upgrades, we can completely change the vehicle from great to fantastic.
