What to go with next XI guys?

I have an 09xi, my engine mods are V5 tune, ets ic and bms filters. I also have Ast coils which ride great.

Now the wife would strongly frown on me doing everything at once so I gotta decide.

It's either Vishnus meth kit or m3 parts: strut tower, m3 rear bushings and m3 rear sway bar.

I have an invoice from Harold ready to go but I just dont want to have remorse as my car already handles pretty decently with my asts.

Please someone help convince me.

I would go with the Meth ! ! I did and enjoy it. I've only let 2 friends drive my car when I installed the meth (i was with them for sure) and they both were like "oh wow" " holy shiat"....you know what I mean.......with the awd and meth the power delivery is so smooth.... almost too smooth and quiet that I had to delete my muffler to make it sound like it was driving...mean!

You're killing me man. I just feel suspension is very necessary but I went to the track for the first time last week and the need for faster times makes me want to get meth.

What other power mods do you have?

+1 on meth, but get it for on-track cooling, not on-track power.

I guess I misstated, I meant the drag strip, not the oval track.

Garage List
I would go with a DP first, then Meth and then the m3 parts: strut tower, m3 rear bushings and m3 rear sway bar. BTW - I going with Meth when it comes out but I have been on the fence with the M3 Parts. I already have the Procede V5, Helix IC, Vishnu DP, AST 4100's and the M3 strut brace, however I'm thinking of going with the M3 rear bushings and m3 rear sway bar.

Let me know what you decide to do!

I've been teetering on dps for awhile. i'm still in warranty and havent had any major issues but can remove the basic mods like v5 and filters if I need engine work while dps would throw a kink into that.

Nuts!

Got it. In that case, get meth. DCI, tune, meth has proven to be pretty potent in that regard. The IC is just sugar on top.

Plus, you don't need more suspension parts if you're just dragging and DD'ing it.

I saw you finally had your coils installed. Whats your 2 week review, you enjoying them? I guess that's a silly question, you obviously are!

I absolutely love them. My wife said they feel softer than stock. But the transitions, feedback, and support is amazing. Exactly perfect for my needs.
