great looking...sounds like quite the project! I am interested in the Softronic software and their plenum that is coming out soon...what are your thoughts on the software so far? What was the most noticeable? I am also doing a Quaife...I feel it is a must.

Re: softronic -just get it.Well worth every cent and support from Scott has been outstanding. I'll probably upgrade to his plenum once the initial batches are out and wait times decrease.Very easy to install and use. With softronic I'm getting no check engine lights even though I have no cats.

Nice mods! Did you install the Quaife yourself, if so how long did it take you?

Couple mechanic friends ( one is a master mechanic for Audi and used to working with the Torsen type diffs) did the install for me. I don't recommend this as a DIY unless you have some pretty good diff experience. Everything took better part of a day working at a steady pace. I'll drive the CS a couple of days and then do a corner balance and alignment.

Left the rear stock - no need to upgrade since most stopping power is on the frt.Re the question on the chassis brace kit - i have the info at home and will post it later.
