Default H&R impression...

Thought it was harsh. But, it's well worth it consider how much more confident I feel when taking corners (on ramp for example).

Next up, stoptechs. (or downpipes??)
I think some better brakes will help much more.

any suggestions?


p.s. btw, my brake warning light came up while installing the H&R Ultras. Guess it's time to change the pads. Do you know if it's covered by warranty or not? (if not, any other brand-pads u suggest before the real brake kit upgrade?!)

TIA

Get Down Pipes. And yes, pads are covered under warranty.

Default No, I don't have them. :( Too poor. But I have driven an S4 with them...

HUGE difference. The throttle response in instantaneous and a nice kick in the *** dyno too. Ask mike about labor hrs and installation.

Default for downpipes, he'll quote me 50hrs labor at least..lol

because he simply hates the installation. For it's a bitch to get off the stock ones, and put on the new ones.
plus, the milltek downpipes are VERY expensive itself at the first place...

Default MTM/Joe Hoppen only sells them with their stage 3 kit. Since I am stage 2, they offered an upgrade

Still wanted close to 4k for them...
