Talking Repairs and maintenance.....

Ok so I am getting some cash from my extra scholarships and will have some of it set aside for the FC for repairs and other stuff.

I have a list of things I NEED so far and those WILL get replaced/fixed:

Engine Mounts(competition)
Differential mount(Competition)
Front rotors(OEM style)
Metallic pads
New Tires(Potenzas)
New shifter bushings and boots


I also want to get:

Bushings
Shocks
Springs
PR racing sleeves
Brake lines(SS)
etc....


What other things would be good to replace?

If you're just looking at upgrades, I'd consider a grippy clutch (since you're going competition with other components), SS clutch slave line (cheap and easy), some good plug wires (RB puts out some nice ones), and a hi-flow air filter. You may even consider opening it up with a cone-style and ripping out the airbox.

I also like the stability of silicone vac hoses.

Turbo or N/A?

LOL!

My car is mildly modded already. I have a cone intake and I am working on an intake to sell to the public so thats the least of my concerns.

I already have a SS clutch line and new clutch hydraulics. My stocker clutch doesn't need any help as it is and I don't race much anymore so I don't need to improve my 1/4 mile times(I still haven't gone to the track and probably won't) My current intake already has a Carbon Fiber heat shield but thats gonna get tossed when i finish my intake package. I also have a full exhaust so thats the least of my worries.


EDIT: oops S4 N/a

Don't you have to rip up the original struts to use the koni's? I thought they were just inserts? When I need to replace mine I'll be going AGX's, and would use RB springs if I wanted to lower it and raise the spring rates, but I don't plan to. I'm still looking for a place to make custom fit springs for my front end, to raise the rate but not lower the car. Anyone know where to go for that? I'm almost sure I asked before though.
