eggyolk go for the 2" drop not the neuspeed sports. you might as well just put the sport springs on the stock shocks. thats how mine is set up. nothing special at all and not low enough for 18s.

oh and johnny to answer your question i get 18-22mpg in town and 28-32 on the highway.

when driving cross country in my car i was ~30mpg for 800 miles or so doing 60-80mph usually with cruise control on. but i did have a considerable amount of luggage with me.

as far as problems... i got an airbag fault from the cheap connectors they use under the seats. my "soft touch" window switches are peeling. and i had a seat cover replaced since it wasnt cut right at the factory and seperated from the rear seat access handle. i had the stereo bass issue fixed as well with a simple software update when they performed the headlight adjuster cap recall. and i had a friend use vag com to adjust the speedometer to read more accurate
