New mods in the mail! and set-up for Spring yay!

Hehehe i decided to splurge this week....

In the Mail:

B&M sts
Grant Evolution black/briar shiftknob
Energy Suspension lower control arm bushings, front sway bar bushing, end link bushings.
Euro Reverse indiglo gagues (the ones with blue and red letters at night)
3 Bosch O2 sensors
Audi Santorin Blue paint and clear coat for my spark plug cover. (is gonna be the color of the car come spring)


Coming Spring:
Color change to Audi Santorin Blue
Repair accident damage
Molded (with fiberglass filler) Stillen Kit (95-96)
17" rims (still undecided exactly)
H&R springs
Kyb AGX
Full 2.5" stainless mandrel bent exhaust

Once all this is done i will have all handling mods except SFC's and it should look damn good i hope! Most of the work will be done by myself.. actually all except the paint and bodywork.

Sounds like a good plan. Might I suggest 18" instead of 17" though.

hey we're in the same boat!!!

Where did you get the lower control arm bushings? that's all i have left to get.

I also got polyurethane to fill my m-mounts. Now comes the inevitable wait for ups.

Looks like you're trying to maximize your suspension feel/quality, in that case get 17's not 18's...
