///M Dilemma :(

Hey Guys,

I need of some buddy like advice. I'm not bragging but I made some cash from selling my full original stock Audi S-Line kit, 19" RS Wheels, Alpine DVD head-unit and Carbonio Intake system, since I sold my car in Sept2008.

My dilemma presently is that I'm really wanting to get my hands on two items that I've been eyeing and hanging out for. Sadly, I've gotta settle with a trade off between my 19" Breyton Race GTS / KW sping combo or Active Autowerke X-pipes with high flow cats.

What would you do if you were in my position, given that both items are in the same price bracket?

I've enclosed pics of the Breyton Race GTS, X-pipe and current stock rims that I am happy with.

Appreciate your honest opinion

Merry Xmas & Happy New Year 2009

+1....might want to wait until the economy is above water. We're sinking fast and taking on a lot of water right now. But if you got EXTRA dough, I'd go with the gut feeling.

the economey is sinking ( i guess especially in usa at the moment),yes, so why not spend your money? (it will loose value over time for the coming decade, i belive)

buy the exhaust or tires (depending on what īs more important to you, i d say x-pipes... you feel the benefit!) and start saving money for the īther one

If it does not affect your overall economic situation, then go for the one that you feel will make you happier. I would go for rims and suspension personally, though the Breyton wheels are quite heavy.
