Bricksters,
Unfortunately I don't have any pics of my brick as I haven't purchased a digital camera yet (on top of the list) so I can't help ya with a pic at least for a few more weeks. As far as an HP increase, honestly I can't really feel the difference before and after removing the temp sensor and screens. Perhaps the K&N added 2-3 and maybe the car is a little more "peppy" but can't confirm. Looking into a Stillen air-intake, so we'll see. I'd like to dyno the car at some point when all the mods are done...whenever that might be!! The Bilsteins again are fantastic but are indeed quite firm...they aren't harsh but if you're looking for a "smoother" feeling like the ride quality of a high-end Euro sports car the Bilsteins might be too stiff...Koni's (while expensive) I've heard are a little "softer." Tom, you're referring to the Potenza's right?? I was looking at the 950s and will probably get them if I keep the 15's...the Pirelli's (came with the rims) are quite noisy...actually told the 'rents to put the 950's on their Saab...I guess they are pretty sweet.
Best,
-Adam
