help on 09 JCW Mod.
Just purchased an 09 JCW with their $500 suspension package. Would like to hear what mod are out there. Mainly to the motor and suspension. Anything could be done with the stock turbo on the aluminum side or the hot side? ECU? Intake? Down Pipe etc.
Suspension? Chamber seating not to wild for street and some track?

i'll stay away from motor mods as i'm an R53 guy. as far as suspension, the same basics apply to the R56's. a stiffer rear sway bar to eliminate some of the factory installed understeer and some added front camber will make the car handle like a champ.

how much rear anti-sway bar is needed is a function of all suspension mods. if you do multiple things to reduce understeer (like adding front camber) you will need less rear bar to make the car balanced. i use a 19mm bar on the middle setting. this is plenty for me. my car is pretty well balanced and i can induce oversteer or understeer w/ the throttle and/or brakes.
