Default New Turbo Purchase...Best place to purchase....

Hey guys just wondering where you think is the best place to purchase the following items, I've had my new to me Turbo for about a month now and would like to do a few modifications:

1) B&B Headers, Exhaust, and Wastegate Pipe w/ rolled tips.

2) Bilstein HDs, either Eibach or H&R Springs (I prefer Eibach) w/ The Racer's Group Adjustable Sway Bars and Drop Links

3) H4 Headlight Conversion for the front headlights....I'm not to sure what parts, etc. this involves so if someone could explain it to me in more depth that be great.

4) A 100% working factory CD2 Unit. I bought one from dc Automotive and the CD player did not work. Also, does this need a new sleeve and bezel that is different from the factory cassette unit?

Thanks in advance guys

Chas - How does the car feel with the mods?

1. Directly from B&B for the header/exhaust. Not sure about the tips, but they may have it.
2. I'd look and see what TireRack carries.
3. Try Pelican and you can probably get the H4 plug from there, too. I believe it is just a matter of swapping plugs/wires for the H4s to work.

Not sure yet, should be done this week. I had this setup on a previous P-car and it was awesome...

Our '91 has the original CD2. It doesn't have a seperate sleve or bezel. It slides out using the tools in the manual. Be very careful removing the connector as it doesn't seem to be very robust. I've had mine out a couple of times to have the CD repaired and ended up replacing the cable going to the amp because of broken wires. FWIW, I have not been able to have this one repaired nor have I had any luck sourcing a reliable replacement. If I actually used it, I would replace it with an aftermarket unit.
