Shopping List

I have some repairs and improvements on my to-do list but before i go spend a lot of money id like some input from people who know more then me.

So here is what im planning on getting:

M7 Strut Tower Reinforcing Plate
http://www.waymotorworks.com/m7-stru...tml?quantity=1
DDM Intake (black) (Foam filter)
http://www.waymotorworks.com/ddm-int...tml?quantity=1
WMW Ignition Package (Black) (Colder Plugs)
http://www.waymotorworks.com/wmw-ign...tml?quantity=1
Rear Wiper Delete
http://www.waymotorworks.com/rear-wi...tml?quantity=1
PowerFlex Upper Engine Mount Bushings
http://www.waymotorworks.com/powerfl...tml?quantity=1
BSH Lower Engine Mount
http://www.waymotorworks.com/bsh-low...tml?quantity=1
TSW Motor Mount
http://www.waymotorworks.com/early-t...tml?quantity=1

Next Round of mods, assuming nothing stock breaks or needs fixing:

Sprint Booster
http://www.waymotorworks.com/sprint-...converter.html
DDM Works ICD
http://www.waymotorworks.com/ddm-wor...tml?quantity=1
WMW Stramosphere Exhaust (or milltek eq)
http://www.waymotorworks.com/stratmo...3-hardtop.html

Well at least thats what i have planned. If/when i get all that on ill start working on suspension and handling, probably just a sway bar.

Yes i plan on installing them all myself and no i dont have a ton of wrench turning experience (done a break job with some help). I will be getting some help from a buddy who has more experience then me. If there are any tips or how-tos that anyone knows about please post those too. Or if u live near Orlando and wana give me a hand ill take that it

If anyone has these mods, knows about them or has heard about them please share your experience. If you think im doing something wrong or have suggestions for alternate brands or if u know where i can save some money please let me know.

Thanks for sharing!

I think you should skip the sprint booster and spend it on a tune, you will get the same effect with additional benefits.

I would not do the Coil Pack, I would do a series colder plug.

Looks like you've actually put a good package together.

But yes you can skip the sprint booster and just send us your ECU and we'll flash it for less.
