think the control arms will make a huge diff? i'm debating on getting them for the summer.
Little bit of show, little bit of go.

They'll be ok. Lots of guys from the USA have been using them for track and have nothing but positive feedback. What I really need them for is the camber. I was thinking about plates, but I've heard a lot of stories about the SPC plates and how they screw up bearings. With the lower control arms, you don't have that issue.
Right now, all I care about is fixing camber so I don't wear through a set of tires each summer. Plus I may be going with coil-overs, just not sure yet.

Coilovers are next, after the swaybars and brakes. Probably looking at H&R's.
As for camber, not sure yet. However when we put the suckers on, we're going to set it up at full negative camber to see what it looks like and feels. But I think I'll probably have it set closer to -0.5 for normal use.
Brake lines will be upgraded when I do the rotors/pads and rear disk setup.
Tracking this summer is definite. :D

Only for S/C from what I heard. It gives turbo applications a little less parasitic loss and a little better throttle response with a couple of ponies added. The throttle response isn't as good as say a lighter flywheel or TB, but it'll help.

Yea, with a S/C, the UDP would reduce boost because the charger is being driven by the pullies. With a turbo, Oscar's response says it all.
When I had my S/C installed, I had to remove my UDP. I could feel the difference in the throttle response.
