Nah....not yet. I'll wait till the OE is worn out. No reason to crack it open for a simple swap.

...and that will be awhile with only 29K on the ticker.

I thought the car already had some of these mods, or maybe I assumed because it looks so good!

+1 get the tarett drop links or TRG... much stronger than the agency power ones that kept breaking on me. just do a search trg vs. agency power. i posted pics.

you don't mention shocks. get a really good suspension before the engine bits.

+1 on the drop links RE: Agency Power

The car already has some PSS9's, I believe. I know, soft for the track... JIC's might be a good replacement for those PSS9's.

i've been told that JIC's leak. i'm thinking moton or jrz. from chad's list of mods, it looks like he can afford a real suspension.

I'd spend that $3400 in better places than the engine, for example, your suspension. IMHO, that is a waste of money. Spend that $3400 on suspension and you will get much more bang for the buck. For $3400 you can get a nice set of coilovers (PSS9, H&R, etc).

Car came with coilovers. PSS9's, (which I had on my old M3). For the 2-3 events I do a year, they were perfect. In combination with the GT3 bars, they will be perfect.

Thanks for all the concern.
