Of course the STS is the first consideration. pros? cons?
...also i see "kits" for front mount setups all on ebay, and i assume those are worthless.
Is fabbing up your own kit with truck manifolds possible? i kinda like my Stainless steel LT headers though. lol.
The STS kit is 3995... which i think is reasonable. Only upgrade i think id still need would be a racetronix fuel pump kit and tuning...

I put a 1000 miles on my Sts Turbo kit right off the bat and havent had any issues with the kit itself. I have the upgraded version with the intercooler and a 67 mm Turbo. Its set up for 500 rwhp due to not having forged my engine yet. TTP did a good job on that aspect to take there time and doing it correctly. Clearance issue was definately a big concern of mine especially since my Car is tipping the scales at 3966 with me in it. I also have a ground effects kit as well. STS Redesigned the set up which now hangs higher and features a dual exhaust set up as well and hides the air filter. I carefully selected new suspension components to protect my investment. I went with strano springs with KYB AGX adjustables which was spot on with the 1.2 ride height as stated. The Eibachs are garbage and have a drop rate of 2 inches in my case a little more. I also added rear air bags to the springs to ensure ride height especially if I have passengers. These air bags raise the car higher then stock if you want it to. One of the biggest reasons for getting my STS was the issue of heat. You have seen my paint job and its one of a kind. Not taking chances on anything melting, warping, catching fire, or blowing up in my engine bay damaging my hood and paint. I am happy with it and its fun to drive. Meet me at a show in April and will be happy to take you for a spin so you can feel it your self.
