Question a few maybes.......

a few questios, maybe, "have you evers" for everyone here. i am thinking about a few driveline/suspension mods to come in the near future and i was wondering if anyone has ever had any trouble with some of these.

- Eibach pro kit to lower it
- SPEC Stage 2 with a lightened flywheel
- Stage 2 (????) Axles from idk what company yet
- Engine torque damper (yet again, don't know a company)

-eibach makes good stuff, go with them
-if your going with a spec clutch, go with a 2+ or 3+ series. the 2 and 3 arent the greatest, the + series kick ass according to many owners.
-stage 2 axles are a good idea, may not be needed depending on your power level and what your doing with the car.
-torque damper is a waste of money, go with the OTT performance rotated transmission mounts. they correct the horrible driveline angle problem that creates wheelhop. expensive, but the best mod ive done to my car.

pretty much all it has right now is a zzp 2.6 pulley, intake, exhaust, and some fuel mods but i plan on doing some more motor mods down the road so i'd like to make sure i get equipment that can handle the power. things like an upgraded supercharger, a performance head, maybe a more aggresive tune, and a few other bits an pieces...

Wait.

So...you're on a 2.6 with only a "CF" intake and exhaust and "Z06" injectors, and worried about lowering springs?

yeah.... when i had bought the car (used) i wasn't infomed of the manufacturer of the "Carbon Fiber" intake that it has and also was told that it had ZO6 injectors installed which i thought was odd because i though it would be "Stage 2" injectors

the reason i'm asking about springs is because for now i don't want to do anything different under the hood and would like to work on the suspension and appearance
