Hey guys just wondering if we have any forum sponsors that give memebers a decent price on parts. Below is a list of the parts i will be needing, if anyone knows in a good direction to point me it would be much appreciated.

-Need lowering springs or coil overs (want to maintain the best ride quality while slamming the car as much as possible.

-Brembo GT Brake kit ( all four corners ) Do they make an 8piston kit for this car?

- ECU Reflash, Which company does this best work with most gains?

- Intake System, Is it worth it on this car? Most OEM intakes are very well designed.

-Dual Outlet Exhaust system, Which one sounds the best and also makes some power?

- Full Body kit that supports dual outlet exhaust? Havent seen many choices, Please post pics if you have them!

I think thats all i would be doing to the car at first besides the wheels and a audio sytem. If anyone on here as replace all the speakers in the car and running aftermarket audio please chime in, Thinking about using the JL Cleansweep to integrate with the OEM controls. Thanks!

-George

RD Sport is another company that makes a rear spoiler that'll accommodate a quad exhaust set up. They're also the only one that makes a true cat-back exhaust with their quad exhaust conversion and x pipe. Here are some pics:

I Like that RD Sport exhaust, so the eisemann (sp?) isnt a complete catback? I would diffrently be intrested in a catback exhaust. exhaust manifolds would be over kill, but high flow cats and a good catback system would definetaly be a major improvement!

nope, it still uses the oem resonator so its only muffler-back.

That is the correct spelling for Eisenmann. Their exhaust is not a catback. Most exhausts actually, (Dinan, Hamann, AC Schnitzer, Remus, B&B...etc..), are all muffler back. Eisenmann and Hamann makes "quad" exhausts with 4 tips (2 on each side) but there have been some debate about whether or not the right side is active or just a dummy. My guess is that the right side for those exhausts are functional if they're on a 545/550 but dummies if they're on a 530 or below. I've seen soc_fans' 530 with the Eisenmann Race quad exhaust and know for sure that the right pipes are dummies.

I would love to get the high flow cats and even the manifolds as well...but they're pretty pricy.
