My 07 speed3 has left me with no regrets. I test drove the GTI, WRX, Si, S40 T5, and even a Scion TC ( don't ask - it's a neat car for the $$, but out of this league ). For what I wanted in a car, the MS3 is still the champ of my personal comparo. Performance, utility ( 4dr hatch ), value...

The Hawk HPS produce little to no dust compared to oem for me. Highly recommended for less dust. As I posted before, they don't perform as well as oem for daily driver braking, but are adequate.

I'm glad you like them, but they broke loose in first and second on my way home from work today after time to warm up. I autoX'ed the stockers last year and I would have been off in the weeds if I had these these Falkens on. I'm not saying they're bad - I've had Yoko's that were much worse...

I've had the Falken 452's for about 9k miles now ( 225/45-18 ). They just barely rubbed when they were newer, but only over bumps with someone riding in back. They do not grip quite as good as the stock tires, so they'll squeel easier on acceleration and around turns, but they perform fine for...

I have hawk hps. They are fine for nromal street use and produce virtually no dust. I've had them for about 1000 miles. They do not bite as well as the stock pads and, as a result, take more pedal effort for the same amount of braking performance. I haven't noticed any fade when braking...

I agree. I have HPS on my car for street use and compared to oem pads there is virtually no dust ( why I bought them ). They are fine daily driver use, but under hard braking the oem pads performed better. I'm keeping them in case I go auto-xing again.......

I have mine mounted similarly, but to the left so it only covers below 2k rpm on the tach. Of course, RPM is one of things I usually have up on the dashhawk anyway. It sits just high enough to read all the display and no higher. I just custom cut something to mount the dashhawk to that...

I have 225/45 Falken 452's. If I have backseat passengers and hit bumps, the center of the tire hits the plastic wheel well liner towards the rear end of the car. Just barely - not enough to cause a problem. Actually, after my first tire rotation, I haven't had them rub again......

Oops - that's what I get for posting at work!

The "bucks and lags" sounds like the MAF is not reading airflow correctly. That was the problem with the MS CAI before you add the air straigthener that is on the AEM CAI ( maker of MS CAI ). The problem doesn't sound like your WGA at all. Did you try putting the stock intake back on yet to...

I've had the TWM for 5k miles and it's excellent. I have a 6'3" arm span and the shortened height is not an issue for me - I thought maybe I'd be bonking my elbow on the armrest on the 2,4,6 shifts, but it doesn't happen. I don't do much modding anymore ( just CAI and SS ), but the TWM has...

I've had MT-90 in for 15k miles or so. Same issue - cold mornings until the engine warms up I get the same thing. Wasn't as bad when the fluid was new, but has gotten worse over time. Noise stinks, but the shifting when cold is still better than stock fluid.

same here - with extra weight or hard bumps, both rear tires can rub on the plastic liner in the rear center of the wheel well, but just barely...... my tires are Falken 452's 225/45-18

I bought the straightener from JSCspeed for $15.35 shipped. I notice a definite improvement in how my car responds under acceleration. Before, I would get surging/stumbling at times, especially if I nailed the throttle. Now, I don't even have to think about it - stumbling/surging is gone no...

one neighbor commented on how good the exhaust tone sounds. my co-worker likes the interior dash and seats.
