Yes great build glad it was recreated!

Thanks!

I recently switched from Dinan to Supersprint Sport. Everything else is stock. The Dinan had some drone/resonance inside the car at ~3k RPM but the Supersprint Sport has none. They both sound good outside the car.

The bright tips work better with my stock grills, car color and soon to be installed new wheels. I'm very happy with this change!

The car is simply amazing. Styling, braking and suspension are complete. I'm now carefully considering a Karbonius airbox and the rest of the Supersprint exhaust....

Very nice! Highly recommend the CF airbox and full SS setup - My build progression has been very similar to your own and those mods stand apart from the rest. You see people himhawing around whether or not they are worth it and I'm not convinced they've experienced them if they don't... While the airbox might not be a great $/hp option that's not entirely what it's about. Getting on the throttle and listening to it is just something that is truly exhilarating and will never get old for me personally. I went with the evolve box mostly because there is a lot less headache there. You buy it from them and can get their version of the alpha n tune (evolve-r) and just be done with it... maybe opting for a custom tune down the road. From my understanding while the Karbonius may be the most OE like on the market there are other pieces that you have to track down(which aren't always available) and on top of that find a tuner that is familiar with the platform/mod.

As for your R&T it looks like you're set about as low as it will go in the front As someone with this setup looking to move back to Philly in the next little bit how is it on the roads out there?

Subscribed - super clean example

~2 years ago I had the full CSL box setup - but I chickened out and sold everytthing. I heard a few stories about jerky throttle issues which are still my largest fear. The idea of spending $4k+ and having a throttle worse than stock still scares me...

Good call on the Evolve box - they make really nice stuff. I'm still stuck on Karbonius tho - the CSL look is awesome.

R&T is great around town! More comfortable/compliant than the ST XTA I had previously. After driving a few cars with R&T and talking to a few very credible shops, I'm convinced these are hands-down the best street coil overs available.
