Full BBi treatment to the front suspension. Bumpsteer kit, thrust arms and control arms with alignment and corner balance. At 99,000 miles she feels better than new.

riding on B16’s with DSC controller on GT3 touring map.

It's def more noisey than stock, but you have to really listen for it. I just feel a lot more connected to the front end and the car feels more confident in high speed corners. I haven't driven a completely stock car in awhile so it's hard to compare. But it's not unbearable in any way.

Spent an entire day doing a oil change both cabin filters a new bmc engine air filter. Flat 6 divertor valves and vector oil air separator. I love this car but I now know how hard it is to change the air filter! What a pain. Btw quick jack is worth every penny.

you have no idea how many sware words were used! Dont do any of this if you don't have skills with tools. Except for the oil change. Anyone can do it for half the price.

sounds good to me. The reason I ask is because I’m getting the full front and rear E-motion setup.

Looks familiar pickett- just changed my filter last week... bumper itself came off easily. Can't say that for the Y-pipe. What a PITA!!! Best part was after I put it all back together... NO codes!!

I was actually looking at the Emotion Stuff and Joe was super nice, but I couldn't seem to get a straight quote from him when asking for labor and parts, where as BBi was a lot more responsive and was able to get me setup relatively quickly. But those Emotion Parts do look super high quality.

That’s funny because I had the opposite experience. I reached out to both Emotion and BBi. Joey responded and answered all my questions the same day and sent me over the complete package with a quote for parts and labor if I wanted to have the work done at his shop. BBi did respond to my email and told me someone would call me to discuss my suspension needs but I never heard from them after that.

Either way super excited about the new suspension.

These frunk organizers have been great. The grip is incredibly strong on our liner fabric and no worries about anything flopping around. Essentials stay in place (tire plug kit, mini air compressor, waterless wash spray, microfiber rags, iCarsoft reader, ect).

Both shops were prob just busy and we got each shop at the right times. But you will love the change, the difference was pretty massive esp since I have 99k miles on my car. Super happy with the results up on canyons here in LA.
