Sorry, alk= anti lift kit, basically revised geometry via modified bushings, improves handling. Several options, superpro does good quality kit. http://superpro.com.au/products

You'll need a geo check after fitting suspension anyway so makes sense to do this at the same time.

H&R cup kit would be a good option, better than eibachs with stock dampers and will be lower too.

You been talking to Alex too?! This is what I've got planned after the RARB is fitted.

A 57 plate vRS will have a PD170 lump under the bonnet. The CR170 (Common Rail) didn't find its way into the vRS until 2008.

Has it had the injector recall? All VAG PD170's were recalled for all four injectors to be replaced FOC. There will be a recall sticker under the boot floor next to the spare wheel well.

Also watch out for the DPF light. They are a well documented weak point on the 2.0 TDi PD engines.

Looks a nice spec. Factory fit xenon's. If it has the 18's then it will have Climatronic, electric rear windows and the jumbo box.

The aftermarket tints look quite smart too.

Is this the recall thing...?

Unless I'm mistaken that's just a standard sticker quoting the spec of the car when it left the factory

Brimma has it right, all those three letter codes represent the factory fit specifications and options.

 

This is what the recall stickers looks like. These are from my 2007 vRS. Not sure what the one from Simpsons is for, the DM Keith one was for the injectors - 23J7...

I never ended up calling waynef. Totally forgot about this post. No issues though.

Rear anti roll bar.  That will stop it feeling like a drunken greased pig. 

The ALK are ok but not in the same league.  If you intend driving it, then better to spend your limited cash elsewhere.

 

VAG cars aren't the cheapest to mess with.  You can get low cost stuff but it often isn't much of an improvement.

 

Decent tyres.  Proper alignment.  RARB.   Uprated pads.    Remap.    That's what I did.  Cost a bit more than your budget too.  But worth it for the dynamic improvement and driver satisfaction.

 

Have fun
