Picked up the car from USP last night after leaving her there .... they did the KW's/ H-sports and 034 Arms ( not the Sterns thankfully, at least from what I hear) and also did the Wagners /Venairs and all the other hoses etc....as well as DV's / Filters, stainless brakes line, RS6+ pedals, Clear-corners and misc ....they really do great work - very impressed so far.

And I have to say it's a totally different car now.... I loved her before but the DRC clunk ( and it had just had the replacement 3k ago) was driving me nuts and it felt squishy coming out of a turn and getting onto the boost.... now none of that... and it looks amazing.

You all were right and I've learned a lesson... the 265/35 are aggressive on a 19x9.5 ( ET32) but with a 3mm spacer in the front we're clearing.... I wouldn't track the car but it works. I will likely swap those out down the road.....( for anyone looking for a great setup who's not running a lowered suspension these would likely work flawlessly - email me if you're interested in either the tires or the whole setup)

Just added my first Aces.....can't wait to take her out for a drive this evening....and do the Shifter plate mod ( bought a used one for $35 on Feabay !):hihi:

Really looking forward to getting the Labrees & Catback in next week.... and then chasing down a new Tune.....(maybe along with the Fuel pump/ Reg ). This forum truly is a wealth of knowledge....thanks to those who've pioneered many of these mods and shared their insight and experiences.

I have a few long overdue low res Iphone pics I'll get up shortly....

I'll be selling my old IC's ( like new - 30k on them) and still have the OEM 18's ( in mint condition) PM or email me if you're interested.

Congrats also. I think you'll love the KW / HSport setup. The car handles so much better than the DRC with only a slightly stiffer ride. Unless your in an area with a lot of rough roads and potholes you'll love the KW's over the DRC.

How much for the IC's? Are you still in Florida? Thought you were moving to Cali?

Old school rock and brings back good time memories fuzzy as they may be...Can't believe they didn't get a shot of me out there yelling my lungs and groping anything that came within reach of my octopus arms...:)
