It's got nothing to do with costs (as you can see, in high volume, the Goodyear are cheaper than the Conti's anyway). It has to do with the contracts that a car manufactuer has with tyre manufacturers. For Volkswagen that's primarily Continental and Bridgestone, both of which make good tyres.
It's just that right now, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric is the best. Could be something else soon

Thank God. The RE001's on my MkV are garbage in the dry and dangerous in the wet. Previously had Yokohama Advan Sport V103 and CSC2s, and I've heard the RE050A is up there with those 2 performance-wise.
im purchasing a brand new golf.
im getting the 18 inch detroits.
should i get the ACC with the car or should i purchase coilovers later on if i want stiffer dampers.
the cost of ACC is almost same price as coilovers.
depends.
ACC I would think is for those people that dont want to compromise on daily comfort. Other than that a set of coilovers will allow you to pick a rideheight/damper setting that suits your usage.
For my personal taste id go with a good set of coilovers. But then i dont think its a decision that anyone else can make for you because it has to suit your set of requirements
well if i install ACC now, can i install coilovers later on? or there's gonna be alot of sensors dangling around?
This is a question I've yet to see anyone answer on these forums. I'm not sure that anyone here has bought a car with ACC on it and tried this.
But I think that as Tim mentioned, it depends on YOU.
The ACC allows you to press 'sport' for when you want that firm suspension and handling, and press 'comfort' for when you're on crappy roads or in a car park with 50,000 speed humps between you and the exit etc.
Good coilovers are going to allow you to get better handling and fine tune the car the way you want. They're adjustable, but not DURING your drive. They would be far better on the track, and if you're a hoon, they'd be better on the road too
But lets face it, good coilovers are going to cost you far more than the $1500 of ACC. From what I can see the Sachs Coilovers for the GTI are about RRP $3000 plus installation. KW Variant 3 coilovers are likely to be even more. (Kryten001 might be able to post here how much he paid for them to be installed on his Pirelli)
