2011 MCS my stage 2 mods

Since its my birthday, I ordered front and back EBC Red Stuff pads and WMW stainless steel brake line kit. I also ordered NM short shift kit and their modified shift cover plate to keep out the crud.
Stage 3 will be camber plates and rear camber links and Billy HD shocks.

Thats not stage 3, you need to do motor mods for that.

Please note:
1. These are my personal stages of my car's modifications.
2. Its a NEW car, and I'm not stupid enough to touch the engine and void my nice warranty.
3. I am "improving" my car for its intended purpose--Daily driver & occasional HPDE ride.

Side note, Dinan labels their suspension packages as Stage 1, 2 and 3.

And since he has a 2011, he can't really tune his motor anyways!

Thank you Charlie!!

Yesterday, I ordered my last part for these mods. -----NM catback exhaust.

Yes, I know that it will not add HP, but it will sound and look good.

Mods are being installed on May 9 and 10.
