i am ordering parts tomorrow upr kmember,a arms coilover kit, upr bumpsteer, swaybar links, steeda 4 bolt caster camber plates, tokico 5 way adjustable struts, allignment, cobra brake upgrade 13" slotted rotors, 2 piston calipers, stainless steel braided hoses, emissions and inspection, and labor for install (from a reputable performance shop) plus installing halo headlights, and diablo tune(already bought). $3000 out the door what do you guys think about that, or should i go with different stuff?

how much are they charging in labor??

@ $850

I'd say that's not bad, UPR is a good company as is Steeda, and you're doing all the related parts at once so the car's just going to be amazing. I say go for it.

Oh question What's with the emissions and inspection?

go look at buyfordracing and check out the mach 1 brake kit, that is cheaper than a cobra brake kit, but it is the exact same thing (minus the painted calipers). UPR is a pretty good company, they are more drag oriented so I am not too certain the outcome of their parts on a DD. When they install the K member, make sure they center it correctly, or you will be pissed with the outcome. You should notice a bit of a better handling car, due to the better weight distribution, but again, since I have not seen too many autocross or DD's with a upr setup I do not wanna venture with a guess on what it will do to our car's handling as a whole.

Goodluck.

yea, what is with the emissions stuff??? is it something you have to have done on your car this time of the year so they are doing it for you as well? 850 is alot of money for installing parts... but its not toooo bad considering having to take the k member off. does this include an alignment?

mattofiesh

i live in Pa, weall have to get them done? i am emmisions exempt because of low miles hahaha

mattofiesh

it does include the allignment. the emmisions and inspection is something that has to be done every year (safety)
do you think those choises may be bad for my overall handeling?

sorry for the sp(handling)
