Post-accident upgrade suggestions needed!
Post-accident upgrade suggestions needed!
Here is the original post about the accident:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=132869
Schultze's exploratory exam at the collision center is scheduled for today...I'm hoping he isn't declared a total loss!
Anyhow, with the positive hope that he's repairable, I'm considering the following upgrades and would like input on other possible upgrades that I'm overlooking:
JCW steering wheel w/Leather trim
Aero kit (front bumper & side skirts only)
Fog surrounds for aero front bumper
Now here's the iffy part...the front struts/springs will need to be replaced. I say "iffy" only because I'm not 100% knowledgeable about springs/struts/camber plates/control arms, etc.
I will get "credit" for the OEM retail cost of those parts and I would like to have the shop install better struts & install lowering springs instead of the OEM springs. I don't plan on tracking or doing Autox anytime soon. I understand that I'd also need upgraded camber plates & control arms due to the lowering springs. Any & all suggestions for these parts would be greatly appreciated, as well as sources, would be greatly appreciated.
If Schultze is good-as-new in time for MOTD, I may have to enter him in the Car Show!
Thanks, everyone!
