I really like the BC's. It's nice to finally have the front lowered down and in addition I had the car corner balanced and it's night and day compared to before.

Darbs, I am really looking forward to your N20 install at JE and I'll try to make it up to see the results. I know JE will do a great job on the install.

BTW I don't have the JoeZ exhaust anymore, but do still have the SIKKY headers on. Long story short I thought I was going to lose my job back in March and with the IS-F being a toy car for me, it was going to be the first thing to go. So I sold the exhaust in preparation for a sale and now I'm kicking myself for doing so. Anyway, everything is great again and I'm looking at doing exhaust again in the near future.

Not sure if you are being funny/sarcastic or not. Is it fair to say you do not have a 435 whp/361 lb-ft dyno graph? You cannot add the whp generated by various mods, total them and assume the sum is being generated by your car at the wheels. Certainly, you should have a decent ballpark estimate of what your car is producing, but that is all it is...an estimate. This is besides the fact that comparing results from different dynos is fraught with uncontrolled variables which can undermine the validity of such results altogether.

It would be nice if your upcoming dyno session with JE included your current set-up before dynoing again with any new mods. Best of luck with your new mods. Your car sounds like a truly strong performing IS-F.

Some of the guys were giving me crap so I ball parked roughly off my gains, call it having fun if you want. JE has a before Intake manifold dyno of my car and will be re-dynoing for my real intake manifold gains, they will be posted with the Nitrous install tread. And I'm not fibbing that bad, I have a clean before and after dyno runs putting me at 421hp 352tq from my exhaust which most people on here have seen. And have before and after dynos from the on intake manifold on a different dyno ... Wanted people to have a reference from my dynapack numbers. Im sure after new mods my sig will read in the 500s regardless.

First run with intake... Second with Intake, header, race cats, cat back when i go back to JE will re-dyno and see accurate IM gains and what the car does with some Juice...

Because the alignment after I installed the coilovers was so bad I needed to find a good local shop to do the job. Funktion Auto in Dulles was highly recommended by a friend of mine and they ended up doing a pretty good job.
