I agree on the quality and service of SOS. I know the clutch will be gone fairly quickly, I'm hoping the diff will last a bit. If I can, I might do the clutch before I go on the Dyno.

Yea I may just drive it around on a base map until spring and then upgrade before the dyno. I'm hoping to be hovering ~ 400 whp. Who's going to dyno tune yours? Maybe we can get a 2 for 1 deal 
May actually sell it come spring/summer also. Used to have a work car so I got this about 6 mos ago as a garage queen and now its not so practical let alone it hasn't been drivable for most of these 6 mos.

More Boost, got a 3" pulley for my Comptech kit, will hopefully see 12-13 psi, still debating if im going to install the water/meth kit or not. Bigger injectors, SOS map sensor, SOS throttle body, Trying to get my hands of an aftercooler. Spring- wrapping the rest of my car, maybe get my CE's powder coated.

I guess i have to do some research as these are 16 - adjust and i was looking at 32 -adjust for same price.. hmmmm
I may have to go in a ride .. I drove in Robbies car and fell in love with Bilstein's.. and he was boosted too so no jerk back
Guess it can hurt to see who has these for a test drive

For what it's worth, I rode in Sam's car at WMHM and was incredibly impressed. Also, considering the rest of Sam's stable, I trust his opinion on ride quality.
Christmas money will determine if I can buy my Asura exhaust back sooner rather than later.

Oh dude!! You sold that exhaust that sounded so good when you came over that one time??
And my plans:
Once moving to Los Angeles Air Force Base is completed in January, and finances are good to go, I want to get that same exhaust you have/had. Possibly do an interior makeover with all new carpet and such.
Oh and pay off the new engine that's in her now haha. But she's running awesome except for this freaking rattle while driving that I CAN NOT FIND FOR THE LIFE OF ME! Doesn't rattle when idle, only when driving. Sounds like something under the car that isn't tightened down. Maybe something on the exhaust.
Anyone got any ideas?

If it's only when you are driving it is possible its something with the exhaust, at the cat/header or cat/exhaust. I have the opposite, a rattle at idle but not when I'm on it lol. Pretty sure mine is the header rubbing on my engine mount.

I am on a budget (or so says my wife) so I'll happily go with cheaper knock-off versions of parts provided they still perform (as looks and perfect fit & finish don't matter much to me).
So suggest away, including spring rates. I was thinking somewhere around 10-12k up front and the right matching rate in the rear. I'd like to not have to re-valve my KW's just yet. The budget is building up as I also plan on bushings all around since I need to replace the wheel bearings.
Suggest away.
