For the last few years VW has been offering performance parts through their dealer network. The problem I have with them, is that they all seemed to be very watered down versions of what was availalbe from several different aftermarket sources(usually for a better price). So what do we all think VW needs to offer through its dealers. Keep in mind that these products will be warrantied, and will not effect your existing car warranty, that price must be factored in. What would you like, and what would you pay?

I would like to see suspension kits that actually measure up to aftermarket kits. I want the same drop and spring rates I would get from something like your average sport springs.Don't give me a 20mm drop, when the car needs to go down 40mm or even 50mm.

An exhaust kit that actually makes horsepower and is louder and sounds better than the factory kit. I am not buying it just to get chrome tips hanging out the back. A certified hi-flow Cat from the dealer would be great.

If I could get a chip from the dealer, I wouldn't have to worry about buying a chip with different programs. I am never going to run race gas, I only need one program.

I'm sure there are more products you guys want to see, lets hear about them.....

they should do what Chrysler, GM, BMW, Volvo, INfiniti/nissan toyota do. they each have their aftermarket companies that produce everything you need for your car and not only is it warrantied but its actually super functional adding styling and loads of HP, like mopar does for chrysler with suspension and crazy HP gains. like nismo does for infiniti and nissan. So VW should jump on the ball and follow suite and stop being cheap! agreed?
