Top quality piece right there for over $400. I hate Dinan. Went back to stock strut bar which was installed after I lowered the car.


    Did a water pump and thermostat.


    Put on the B6s with Eibachs

        The whole design is just bad. AFE isn't different, just probably fits better.

          Ssv1 headers finished as well as some Sportline 8s wheels w/ PS4's. The Ssv1s made my car a bit faster and notably louder going from Euro headers/cats to Ss headers/cats, digging them so far.

            Bro you should have doe the wheels later! You got 2 big go mods. The headers are great, but 20lb 18" wheels vs stock 19s is massive too!

            Looks great too, I love them!

                I drove the car with the headers first tonight, I just got the wheels on about 20 min ago so tomorrow I'll see how they perform, can't wait!
                Thanks for the info on those wheels by the way, it was you who steered me that direction.

                Also with the Ssv1/sec 1. I had to remove the heat shield off of my Sec 2. or it was touching right where the sway bar mounts up as well as the driver's side output flange which was a bit disconcerting. I used a few washers on the two rectangular chasis/exhaust braces and it helped Sec. 2 clear enough to where I can push up on it hard from underneath the car and it does not contact anything.

                  Nice upgrades. Do you think the extra power justified the price tag ? I’m about to do euro heads and cats myself but if theres that much of a difference I might make the switch.

                    The k&n was the worst mod I ever did on my car. I was throwing codes and I didn’t feel any extra power or torque on the butt dyno. I took it off a week later.

                        My car immediately started running rich and started falling off top end.

                          A local shop was able to extract it and re-tap the 7mm threads, so no over-sized stud, no heli-coils/time serts, that was quite lucky.

                          That thought me what I thought I already had known..take your time.

                            Can't tell just yet, its definitely not a night and day difference in power but I also haven't driven it more than about an hour since the Supersprints were installed. It feels like the Supersprints have gotten me more power up high than anything, I'll take it. They also give the vehicle a better louder sound which I really like.
                            The difference to me feels similar from when I went from US>Euro headers but maybe not quite as significant. That price is always hard to justify.

                                Nice. Glad it didn't end up being too big a deal.
