so..........the deal on the work emotions fell through, but one of my evo customers(super rich guy) is giving me all his old AP2 suspension. springs, shocks,struts, sway bars, WHEELS with NEW RE-52's, and some "other" stuff. all totally FREE, oh and its all new with only 300 miles on all of it.

just wanted to make you bastards jealous.

which brings me to my next question:

coilovers. whats cheap, quality, and avalible. discuss.

Oh, and I spoke with Ben at AJ-Racing...now I'm defenately going to get the T1R 70R Sparrow when I buy an exhaust...The gains from that should get me to around 228@8800.

I think I've set my mind on the Comptech header, as well. The dyno plot they provide give exactly the gains I'm looking for. Couple that with the 70mm sparrow, and I should shatter that 230 mark and level out somewhere around 235...I hope

...now...to find a family member willing to get me an exhaust for christmas...

Megan - cheap, and everyone that has them so far has loved them.
Bilstien PSS9's - still kinda cheap on ebay, everyone that has them loves them.
KW Variant 3's - a little more, everyone that has them loves them...

Those are your cheapies that I see everyone getting...

I'll be going for Bilstien PSS9's myself when I'm done futzing with the engine

Nate...what size primaries does that Comptech header have? That dyno chart might change dramatically given the volume of air you are pushing. Wouldn't something with BIG primaries (like the J's) be better?

Get the GFL a-arms!

blownAP - That sounds really nice.

NA is so much cooler than FI. Just so expensive, money to hp ratio.
