Haven't dealt with EVO, so can't comment. I'm sure they're excellent.

But, Champion is an awesome company to deal with. Excellent products, excellent customer service and they really do stand by their products.

Both are great and stand behind their work/products. I took delivery of my car from Champion, thus I went with CMS. New car, dealer installed, covered under warranty. Champion has treated me incredibly well and have offered continued support through the years. Customer service is Bar None, PERIOD.

EVO, although I have not purchased any of their products, they have offered me great support and service through SharkWerks in NorCal when I've needed it.

Seeing you are in Miami, CMS seems like a no brainer to me.

Commit, and they will commit to you.

Even though I had to pay to have my car shipped west, our next Porsche will be purchased from Champion as well. Wifey wants the Panamera Sport Turismo!

^^^ LOL! Too funny. This is why I have their "springs" and other bits for suspension (+RSS Adjustable Control Arms). Think about it, this is Excellence Magazine with a crew of Professionals at the track all day trying to get the KW system to work....yet they were slower. Champion has since moved away from KW and on to Ohlins. I have been able to set some extremely (official timing & scoring) fast lap times in NorCal for a "street" car. I have no plan on switching to coil overs until I retire my car from street to full blown track work and trailer transportation.

I'm considering the CMS 68mm VTG kit also.

Here's a link to a few posts comparing 28s vs 68mm VTG and a Mustang dyno sheet for their full package (68mm VTG).

Which would you choose if you could and why?
Is it tip or 6speed?
For 15-20k I would go with bigger than those kits.

Both companies offer excellent service, advice, & most of all reliable parts.
I think because you're so close to Champion you should just drive there! Knowing how good their customer service is, you could show up with just your car & someone from their shop would drive you back!
Big difference going to a dealership & getting the bolt on's installed, to talking with, seeing, & appreciating the innovation in these high calibre tuning companies.

FWIW, The Collection is not, never has been, a "dealership". It is what it says it is: a used car lot, albeit a very fancy one. YMMV.
