forget the strut tower brace.....the BBK is fine, not my preference but will be about the same gains as the steeda, JLT or C&L

Yes JLT is amazing. Get the tuner/intake kit.

And the strut brace is unnecessary... Spend it on lca's and springs

+1
and I would go w/ the JLT just bc its cheaper. i've heard the chasis is stiff enough so the tower brace is unnecessary.

CAI package should be 1st on everyones list !!! good choice

Strut tower brace is ok, really depends on what you want to do with the car, I don't have one probably won't ever get one, but its up to you.

You don't get any HP gain from a mod like that, seems most of us (myself included) do power mods first then suspension, chassis stuff.

Each to their own, its your money !!

I have the BBK intake. Its great, no complaints. The "airbox" or whatever you call it (the box shield that isolates the filter from the rest of the engine bay) is metal and fits very well. Many of the other intakes use a plastic box.
