No worries I am just sitting here listening to you guys and taking it all in. I think I have a good handle on what to do for suspension now so hopefully by the end of next month I will have it completed.

Then onto the next phase LOL.

.. ya, was a quite a diversion there..staying OT for me, is often like staying in btw yellow lines lol

others have given you great advice. i would only 2nd the mention of gt3 sways and i'm not sure for your needs,brakes are needed at all. though i also have the gt3 ducts w/ stock calipers. i've never felt i didn't have enough stopping power. if youre not tracking? though, might be other stuff to do first. but i like brembo caliper decals much as the next guy ya might pick up some gt3 6pts used? but again, wait until you go for power mods, and see if you feel ya need bigger brakes.

only other item on your list i can speak on and would suggest you do get is the semi solids. i put on the wevos about 6 mo's ago. world of difference. it literally transforms the car. noise for me was something i noticed for maybe the 1st week? but car feels much more connected and the noise into the cabin only seemed to help make that point. i don't even hear it any more. no more lateral flex either. best $400 mod ever. solids for the street? too solid,.. unless you're going to add cup cables and noise be damned lol

but your proposed changes will completely transform the car, although i'd at the very least flash and exhaust simultaneously to complement the suspension mods. disregard that, if you've already done those. good list though,..enjoy it man!

Thanks. I think the car has a flash already as the cars boost peaks at 1.4 bar!! I know that is very high which is why I backed off and I am having it confirmed by Sharkwerks. It also has Switzer silicon piping and a upgraded recirculating BOV so I know it is not completely stock.

Exhaust has been taken care of too.

you're well on your way. good for you. i would check that out also. 1.4 would make me a bit nervous. i have a 1.2 flash and i've seen 1.3 only a handful of times. if you're talking to s'werks its a good time for me to slink on back to the peanut gallery gl w it!

Bought the set from Automotion (Performance Products).

Giving Urban first crack at the rear bar since he expressed an interest. If he passes then it will be up for sale.

Ahh another item to add to my list LOL...

Here are a few pics I took today.
Upgraded silicon hoses from Switzer and AP Diverter valves.....hrmm, no wonder this car felt quicker than I expected. Also seems to have an upgraded K&N filter too so basic mods I guess.

It's your thread and you can jack if you want to (jack if you want to, jack if you want to...).

Nice clean install. How's it sound? What supporting components? On second thought, maybe another thread would be best.
