Got a little cash left. So heres the choices, and the questions along with them.

OBX Ceramic headers
(ceramic or sainless?)

Intake
(AEM? AEM V2? Injen? IceBox?)

Comptech Sways
(Just got springs... Should this be low priority now?)

Feedback please!

Also, i need new pads up front REAL soon. But since ive warped these garbage rotors for the 5th time, im going aftermarket pads and rotors.

are these guys good?

If not, who is?

And what pads?

 

i would go stainless header, icebox, sways are up to you, i would but thats me, and i would look for rotors that are only SLOTED. crossdrilled dont last long either and will look like this in no time

notice the crack, there are many of them

 

SS headers (DO NOT buy the ceramics!!! they WILL rust) / icebox

do sways later and I don't know anything about those rotors.

good luck

 

oh and the grove is from a unwanted rock that wedged itself between the rotor and caliper

 

What brand X-Drilled rotor did you use? I am looking into Comptech (PowerStop) X-Drilled Rotors with Metal Master Pads

 

hey dark...

for headers, go for the stone racing. they are similarly priced to the obx's and much better quality.

for intake, if u want it to sound load and give a nice roar, get the aem. if not go with the icebox (it will give better gains).

for sways... a lot of people say they make a HUGE difference in handling, so that is up to you.

as for pads and rotors, check out the other forum and go to the group buys section and check out the rotora rotors.

 

how much better will the gains be for the ice box versus the AEM?

 

don't get obx header i heard a lot of bad things about them. get icebox or comptech header if I was you.

 

It depends on what brand you're getting.

My Comptech X-Drilled Rotors are just fine.

 

For brake...... Brembo big brake kits will be the best, for header don't get the OBX, I suggest you save up more for a comptech header.

 

cross drilled wont last as long as slotted when driven hard. the holes in them make them much weaker. YES a high quality Xdrilled will last a longer time than cheap ones but they still have the tendancy to crack. ive had brembo big brakes with Xdrilled and cracked them. once i completly shattered a Xdrilled rotor at Road America. i like slotted better and that is going to be my next purchase
songoku you mind me asking how much you paid for the comptech's?

 

I say headers first. Too much gain for too cheap with Stone and OBX. You need to get a quote from a good shop for the OBX's as I've heard the latest batches have install horror stories with the fittament issues...

Intake is nice too. Icebox is supposed to be better on paper, is quieter and the filter is easy to get to. The others just give you the sound at WOT. The performances differences are negligible at best...

I'm getting sways put back on by the end of the year. Honestly though, the car handles well enough without to eat my tires to death. I really don't need them other than to say I have them and just go around corners even faster to ruin my tires...

Brakes? Welp, I got endless brake pads and the pedal feel is different. I don't think they shorten anything, but the dust has been cut down. I'll be getting rotors likely at the end of the year as well. Slotted and dimpled in all likelihood as what fsttyms1 says, xdrilled are easier to crack under hard driving and I do indeed do that frequently. The car is just very heavy...

 

I got Stone headers and AEM CAI and I love them... I got the headers first and then 2 weeks later got the intake. What a difference the intake made to the car... If feel much stronger idk if its because of the WOT at 4k. If you get headers get an intake at the same time....

It gave my car a nice deep tone at low rpms...

 

Intake and Headers! I have the same setup as except I have an Injen CAI!
