That is very interesting that you had the same problem with a different catback but I am very pleased it is gone, it was the only thing about the catback that I didn't like.

Well based on your sig your rearend is fine. (sorry couldn't resist)

Depends on what you want; better ride and handling? Start on suspension mods. More acceleration? Better gears in the differential. More show than go? Wheels.

Or why limit yourself? Do 'em all lol.

I have the Eibach Pro Plus kit and I love it. The stance is mean and it handles like a champ. I've done a few other mods, but mostly cosmetic stuff.

I am having a tough time deciding on a suspension mod....between Pfadt, Hotchikis, Pedders, Eibach........I just need to learn more.

I just went with lowering springs and front/rear sway bars. I'm not too familiar with coilovers and such, so I went with the basic kit. Couldn't be happier though.

It's a matter of how far do you want to go; mild, performance street, race, and how much do you want to spend. All the major names like the ones you mentioned put out good stuff.

What kind of performance are you looking for in a suspension mod? What do you want it to do?

I can definitely notice the improvement in the torque as well. The car is quicker and smoother I can't wait to get it on the dyno now and really wonder what it would feel like with a tune.

I am so pleased with both these mods added to my catback.

Spoke with a few people with the DT headers and none reported yet, all with low mileage but no sign of issues.
