I am thinking on getting one. They just started selling them over here and the price is pretty good considering what you get.
It's like installing almost all the mods you'll ever want to install at once :)

Anyway, anyone had the chance to drive the car with the kit installed? just wondering how it handles \ rides.

I do have a TMC box and a K&N filter on my car right now, and it's lovely. I wonder how much more I can get with the brakes and shocks\springs.

Thanks !
 
Well it is a tough one. The wheels and the exhaust are probably worth getting the kit for. The brakes are marginally better and the Koni's aren't bad.

I had this dilemma a little while back. Fortunately the dilemma went away when the money I was going to spend had to go towards something far more boring.

The option I was going to go for was leave the brakes and fit Bilstein Shocks and Dampers. Then get an aftermarket exhaust. I already have the EsseEsse wheels so I wasn't too bothered about them.

Depends if you want factory or modified?
 
I don't mind going with factory parts, because well, they work, and I get that little peace of mind with a warranty and all.

My biggest concern is how worse the ride comfort is going be with those 18" wheels and the shorter springs. Right now the car rides pretty good actually in my opinion. And although I don't use it every day, it's still something to be mindful of.
 
Ride is better on APESS than APE, due to better spring/damper combo.
 
Thanks guys :)

I took a bit of a gamble here, and placed an order today. They also have an option for the black wheels, but I went for the titanium ones.
Should take around a month and a bit till I get it. I hope it turns out OK :)
