Something along the lines of an H&R touring cup kit(1.5") drop if you are looking for something mild. if you are planing the list you have posted, you wont be happy with the SVT kit.

for the exhaust, a SVT header kit along with a high flow cat and a SVT Magnaflow exhaust would suit you well. in an ideal world, sourcing a Kamikaze race header, 2.5" flex and exhaust from Trubendz would work best for the application you are planning. for a little extra cost, you could get the guys at Truybendz to weld in a Magnaflow high flow cat into the exhaust for extra sound supression.


Clutches; we suggest the clutchnet clutches for the PW kits and sell both.
flywheel, either the Clutchnet 11lbs or the FS/Findanza flywheel will work, you would save about $40 going with the Clutchnet unit over the FS/Fidanza and the extra few lbs make it more suitable in stop-and-go traffic.

if you are looking at SVT brakes, get some Hawk HPS pads and SS lines front and back.

i personally prefer the Quaife LSDs to the FR Torsens, but the price is an issue there...

you do not need a J&S with the PW kit unless you are going to run 87oct or planning on uppiung the boost and running the hell out of the car at the track.
waste of money in my humble opinion....

Thanks for the suggestions. Do you think H&R touring cup kit would ride as well as the SVT suspension? Would it be harsh? I would like my car to have a nice ride similar to stock with less body roll. I remeber reading so many good things about the SVT suspension when the SVT was being reviewed. I like that is only has a .5" drop too. I have no experence with either suspension however, so if you think I would be unhappy with the SVT I may have to reconsider.

I'm glad to see that your shop is in Canada. Do you sell many of the parts I was looking for? I was going to buy the suspension and brakes from McNews. Does the SVT brake kit come with rotors and pads? If it does I'll probably wear them out first then replace them with the ones you suggested. Are Hawk pads noisy?

The Clutchnet clutch/flywheel combo you suggest sounds good. I assume the Findanza flywheel is ligher? If so would that make it harder for stop and good traffic as you could have to rev the engine a bit more to take off without stalling? How much are you selling the Clutchnet clutch/flywheel for? I assume that the clutch would also last a while? I'm not hard on my car and almost never dump the clutch at anything over 3-4K.

How much louder do you think the exhaust you suggested would be over stock? Is the SVT Magnaflow exhaust stainless? Is it a 2.5" or 2.25" exhaust?

Thanks for the help :)
