Sways will be down the road for me too. As well as a brake upgrade. After I get the exaust on, I need to get a tune done. I have a feeling the tune will be the best money I spend.

I have one. I wouldn't say I swear by it, but it is needed to tune properly. It didn't really do anything for me except cause an overboost issue. As long as I keep my foot out of it below 3500 RPM, it's not a problem. As I said a tune will correct it.

I've also got an AVO top mount IC and a Cobb catted downpipe. I'm looking to build a low 13 second DD that is fun to drive.

That's what I thought and then started second guessing myself when I saw other people's replies.

+1 more for the Prodrives. There's a local guy that I met at a meet a few weeks ago that got a different set of Prodrives bored out to fit on his MS3 and needless to say, they look pretty slick.

:doh: Yeah, I admit I was on autopilot. :chuckles:

But that doesn't diminish my point.
Get those Giovannas off at the earliest opportunity.

They won't come off until October. I can't justify buying new rims and tires at this point. The tires are still 60% tread and the rims are new. Unfortunatly, the Giovannas will have to stay until the snow tires get put on. Next spring the Prodrives will be on. I will however order the Prodrives NOW.

Guilty here too.

Good call on running those current tires to the ground.

those prodrives look nice. They'll probably hold up better to potholes than stock even with 18's too

Ordered the Prodrives and the CBE yesterday. Hopefully they will be here before next weekend so I can get the CBE installed. Then off to Chicago for a dyno tune! I'm hoping for ~270 WHP.
