Thanks forThe replies everyone I think I'm going to keepThe Mk ii. I paid 37k for it just over 12 months ago. Resale is going to be 30k at best privately,Its too much of a hit to upgrade to the FGX considering some small mods will produce close to the same car. Definitely looking at the shock works coilovers. Dunno about brakes as it seems I will have to Ditch the mkii 19 inch rims (the car has the lux pack) to fit brembos. I'veRead the XYZ front pack will fit the stock rimsThough & race brakes Sydney may have someOther kits for FG's that fit stock rims as well. Perhaps just the DBA T3 Rotors with good padsFluid flush & braided lines would be enough?Power wise a tune would suffice initially but I canSee Ill prob want more. These new SS commosAre going to be around 310kw With the LS3 motor & it would be nice to think it would be quicker !! Aah where does it end ??!!!!

Less if no cat. Correct me if I'm wrong folks but that should see a solid 275-300rwkw range. Get a nice intake while your at it and for $3,500 you'll have something with a heap more power than standard, and will sound great too. Then you'll have say $1,500 for suspension and might be able to pick up a second hand brembo kit or at least new DBA's and pads for a decent price too.

More grip less vibration &Pretty quiet considering their sizeGood to hear mate.Unfortunately it's hard to find a lot of tyres out there with great traction that are also long lasting. Potenza's are quite a good all round tyre in my opinion so hopefully they serve you well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
