well... the big brake kit will be much more effective after the turbo upgrade... until then you can spend those $1500 (minimum) on something else. Just my 2 cents.

oh yeah, after the brake upgrade... expect a lot of squeeking... but it's normal.

I'd go with the throw a little bit of everything in there except I would hit the Brakes with lines, pads and rotors...BBK would be for later.

I'll

chime in here. The Cusco Zero 2Rs are great coilovers. I bought the Zeal V6s if you want to check them out. I also have the Hotchkis competition sway bar set (fr and rear) with the heavy duty mounts and endlinks. You can do just the rear, but I'd do both. The Whiteling steering rack bushings are a no-brainer. Your wheel and tire choice is fine. I disagree with those that say you don't need a BBK, but you don't need one for drag or autocross. You will need one for lapping sessions, if you drive aggressively. If you can wait on that for a bit, I'd leave off the BBK. You can pick up the VF34 (I have a PNP VF34 myself), pinks, walbro pump and the Cobb AP. I'd go with APS over Perrin for the FMIC, but you can wait on that also. Can't say anything about the Perrin uppipe, don't know anyone using it. Ditch the Perrin rails, you don't need them at the power levels you'll be running. The only reason I can't recommend the Cobb turboback is it's pricey IMHO. I'd definately go full 3" turboback. I'd also wait on the STI gearset. You can get it later. So, my list is a combination of both;

Cusco/high end coilover
Hotchkis rear sway (at a minimum)
Whiteline steerig rack bushings
Wheels and tires (no brainer), check for local deals in Hawaii classifieds
VF34 (these are cheap these days)
Pinks (also cheap)
Walbro pump (look for a package VF34/pinks/pump package)
Uppipe
Cobb AP and turboback (again look locally for downpipe/catback to save money)

I figure this to be around $8000, but shipping will kill you. That's why you should try to utilize the Hawaii classifieds where possible. I sold my Cusco sway bars and Tien Flex shocks for really cheap.

Damn! I wanted these. Let me know first if you have anything else to sell.
