Mods
Bilstien PSS 9
Maint..
New Rotors , pads (hawk hp+)
now on dot4
UK Realingnemt (perfect spec)
One day review. Less bounce than OEM. I felt bumps on road, less. Prob cuz stiffer set up. It felt like driving on air. I am going to let it settle and tweak a little more.

lol yea did that too.. Just really long list of stuff they actually did..
Extendend list:
Swapped out supercharger oil for new oil
Took measurments for custom exhaust to fit my current mods (looking at single or dual prototype)
retorqued and inspected belt drive pulleys
checked the car for an oil leak i noticed (fixed that) It was the oil relocation kit (actualy took it apart to fix - thanks luis)
Fitted the spare tire to allow for manual adjustments to suspension (its really crammed back there - also fuel lines are in the way.) they fabbed up a nice setup for me
Physically went out 4 times for proper adjustments to suspensions (im sooo picky)
Took inventory and looked and prep work for new BOV (need more research) , 14 chamber supercharger cooler and possible NINJA relocation for it..
Oh and a big thanks to Austin for taking me to Johnnys Beef while i was out there.. thanks bro

Woah, getting rid of the HKS, Andy?! I would have never guessed!!
Also, if anything, I bet the "less bounce" thing has more to do with you now having fresh shocks than the characteristics of the new one. Shocks / dampers are what smooth out suspension travel, so dead shocks (which tend to happen to OEMs quite easily, ESPECIALLY if they ever get lowering springs slapped on) will give you a very "bouncy" feel, as you're essentially just riding on springs. This is true regardless of what springs you're rocking.
Regardless, that's awesome you got so much work done. I bet she feels like a new animal!! I'm excited to see she'll be in tip-top shape for the Dragon this year. I know how much you missed going last year.

Over the past month or two I've:
Rebuilt the Vortech with ceramic bearings
Installed 928 billet impeller
Replaced 5" pulley with 3.55" pulley (18psi)
Competition ironman clutch
ID1000s
Aeromotive 340 pump
AEM V2 + serial/wideband gauges
3 BAR MAP
Converted to E85

Still need a larger heat exchanger/larger pump and need to plumb in the catch can.
