Mod Update.....

Just installed, EVOMS V-flow kit, Fabspeed mufflers, and RSS intake plenum...One word, WOW!!!

Throttle response is immediate, effortless, and smooth. It actually kicks you back into your seat. Intake sounds great at WOT all the way to 7k rpm. The plenum has certainly smoothed out the idle and power through the entire rev range. Exhaust is not loud enough for me, hopefully it will " break in" and get louder. Can't wait for the ECU to re-map and get better, only 10 miles since installation.

I wish the quality of the EVOMS intake was a little nicer, too much boring low budget ABS plastic and NOT worth the money.

Next on the agenda (Fed-ex truck), B&M SSK with EVOMS shift link, H&R sport lowered springs, Bilstein sport shocks, and 996TT front lip spoiler.

Roc- Any particular reason you chose to go with the HR springs and Bilstien shocks over the PSS9 kit?
I've been thinking of upgrading my suspension as well, the consensus seems to be that the PSS9 kit offers the best improvement and ride.
My first inclination was to go with Eibach springs and Bilstein's, since I've used that setup on several bimmer cars.

nah, I don;t care about adjustability b/c I doubt that i'm going to seriously track my tiptronic- Just want a bit lower, stable ride without added harshness, the oem setup is a bit washy.

The C4S and TT lips are different, the TT is a little more agressive looking

The first reason is $700 cheaper...Second, less $$$ for labor, no corner balance needed just alignment. Third, I don't need ultimate adjustability, I want to set and forget it, much more simple imho. The springs are stiffer, and lower than stock. The Bilstein sport shocks are designed for lowered spring especially. By the way, HUGE props for Damon at the Tire Rack, he is the shizzle!

I know you are considering the price and ease but would the clubsport H&r's another option from H&R? Anyway, I was looking for the clubsport myself just wanted to know opinions on them

I love the induction roar from those V-Flow's. I definitely missed that when I went supercharged.

The sound is wicked if the hood is open and revving in neutral. When the engine winds down you can hear the vario cams spinning down, sounds like a turbo whine. Pretty cool...

The suspension setup I'm doing is already a done deal. Will post impressions after it is installed.

I have the H&R springs on stock shocks and am very happy. You will notice a few more creaks and rattles over rough stuff because of the stiffer ride.

I did the Turbo lip on my bumper. A bit too low at times, but worth it IMO:

I've got the H&R Springs on my car as well w/ the stock shocks. Not the best of the best set up, but definitely am happy with the results thus far. Car rides a little harder cuz I have 19's w/ low pros, but does it's job of making it a more aggressive look. ENJOY THE MODS!!!
