Hi everyone. This is my fourth (WOW) summer with my P5.
She hit the 60,000 mile mark about two months ago. I had some mods in mind for this spring/summer and finally having a job always helps.
Although i really wanted to get Ksport coilovers, i had to reconsider after the price suddanly went up. I just could not justify it. So instead i went with the setup that half of this forum is running anyway. I got tokico blue shocks from protegegarage, and tein S-Tech springs (i was running Racing Beat springs on stock shocks before). Also now that i had beefier struts i also decided to go with a bigger sway bar. My friend David gave me his AWR sway bar that he was not using so i decided to go with it. I also ordered AXR clunk fix brackets, hoping that they will work with the AWR sway bar. But no luck, so i ordered the Racing Beat sway bar from Ken @ protegegarage. Also since i had to cut every single one of the stock endlinks i went with AWR endlinks for front and rear.
While the suspention was apart i changed the brake lines. I went with corksport stainless steel braided lines. I also ordered speed bleeders to bleed and flush the system. (speed bleeder part number is SB7100 for all four calipers).
Also since i wore out my summer tires, that were crappy to begin with (federal tires suck), i ordered new tires. I went with BFGoodrich G-Force Sport in 205/50/16, and could not be happier with them. Great dry and wet traction, as well as awesome cornering.
This was the extend of the upgrades, so enough of BS, it's time for the PICS. There will be more pics in the future (i love my nikon d50) but these will do for the time being
