Sharkwerks!!

I say another because this was my second visit. This time James installed PSS9's along w/ a new heavy duty battery and he also did an oil change.

The car is much better to drive compared to stock suspension. I found myself hitting 100 on the highway almost without thought because with the PSS9's the feedback from the road is much LESS harsh.

I highly recommend the battery they installed. It fits nicely and has tons of cranking power. I noticed the difference as the car turns over much faster now.

Toothzilla, Alex told me you were coming in after me. Glad you had a great experience, too.

I love my PSS9's, totally transformed the car. Can't wait to get back in and get the short shift kit. Was your car there while I was getting the flash?

Hehe no that was another silver turbo Glad you did try out the SSK. It really does feel that much better than stock. The stock throw is crazy-long and floppy in my opinion. Sorta mushy like a GTI or something...

Thanks again man- yer' too kind. I'm using the same battery as you now. It does save a few pounds but the car starts so much better now than with the stocker.

Not exactly sure what they were thinking with the stock suspension!

All very important mods from our friends over at Sharkwerks. I think it is very interesting that we buy world class cars and dramatically improve handling and performance with only a few mods. These cars and our tuners are awesome!!!!

Keep up the good work guys.
