wow, got a spare $10k?

Personally if you're going all out I'd be looking at something more upmarket than H&R's with Bilstein. Also you don't have to spend APR money to get a dump pipe and sports cat, you could get your whole exhaust redone for what they charge.

Otherwise, hurry up! nothing like a good build thread...

Sorry to disappoint you Noone, i plan to do all those slowly through out the next few years, little bit at a time.
