That's a sweet setup for that price.

are you looking for more power as well. I am happy with my stocker but it seems like a high % of guys are not. I don't get it but hey it's their car and not mine

I'm pretty happy with the power, however I wouldn't rule out a CAI and tune in the future. IMO I think the Suspension needs far more attention than the power.
I find the ride very smooth but when I'm driving in a high spirited mood, I experience excessive wheel hop and it just doesn't feel as planted as it should driving on uneven surfaces.

Hey, I am planning for rear lower control arms and an adjuatable upper control arm (with a stronger upper body mount), and LCA relocation bracket’s.
I don't plan on lowering the car this this winter, but will likely do that at some point too. The LCA relocation brackets are a must if you are lowering the car. They correct the LCA angle to improve the launch. These are sometimes referred to as anti-squat or instant center brackets.
Cheers,
Hugh
