    I think at the highest TEINs are 1-1/4" lower than stock. We actually put a spacer (need 2") at the bottom to get the same fender gap front/rear, 2 fingers.

    IMHO rear OEM shocks are gotta go, if you wanna get rid of pogo stick action.

    And that is the exact reason why I want to get the coilovers. I do not want that at all. But I would love to talk to someone who has the Largus ones to see how they are.

    I have seen peoples struts/shocks fail faster with aftermarket springs. The only reason why the VW springs might not do the same is because it has a stiffer spring rate, which eliminates most of the stress from the shocks.

    I see lots of votes for suspension. That seems pretty obvious.

    What kind of aftermarket parts do you guys want for interior, audio & video that isn't currently available?

    I would vote for an electronics package that improves upon the Mitsubishi navigation & entertainment system. This has been an upgrade enthusiasts have done to their cars for many years, and the current choices have really expanded & matured. I have a hard time justifying the ES premium price for the navigation package.

    I should have a couple turbo kits available in the upcoming months. While I don't expect too much interest in turbo kits for these cars, these cars simply need more power. As of right now, these are my two turbo kits(kits may change slightly in the future). Both kits are designed to run wastegate boost pressure of 7 psi. Estimate power increase of 50-100% or 40-80hp.

    "Stage 1" Kit will utilize a MHI TD04 9b Turbo(specifically the front turbo from a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4). Using this turbo will allow people to use a cheap used turbo($150-$300), rebuilt turbo($500-$750), or new turbo from Mitsubishi($1,200-$1,500). This kit will include turbo manifold, o2 housing, intake and intercooler piping, intercooler, BOV, oil feed and return lines and fittings, all necessary hardware and gaskets. Optional downpipe with high flow catalytic converter.

    "Stage 2" Kit will utilize a Garret GT15 turbo. This kit will include turbo manifold, turbocharger, downpipe with highflow catalytic converter, BOV, intercooler, intake and intercooler piping, oil and water lines and fittings, oil cooler and lines, oil pan, and all necessary hardware and gaskets.

    Custom "turbo" cat-back exhaust will also be available for both kits. Only compatible with my custom downpipes.

    I may also offer a "Stage 3" high performance kit in the future, but this kit would require internal engine modifications.
