I am getting the Active Processor, AFE stg 2 maganum intake, AA intercooler, Quiafe LSD, PSS10'S, F+R sway bars, F Kmacc camber kit, and ADVAN 19X8.5(F)ET 35 AND 19X9.5R ET 35 all BEING put on next week. apparently subframe bushings is a must because of the savings in labor fees. i generaLLY AUTOCROSS all summer and am planning to take it once a month to Virginia International raceway. ****Professional opinions please on what I should take care of when my car is apart already and what i should look forward to ****

if you could not just throw parts to change out there and give a slight description of WHY + WHAT for so i could become more knowledgeable

I'd put om the M3 control arms/front bushings and maybe go with a square setup instead of staggered for the autox ans track stuff. Getting a set of dedicated 17" wheels with sticky rubber makes it a lot cheaper.

Yea i didnt have time to wait for the wheels to be.made so i got these untill next summer. Control arms front and rear?

rear subframe bushings are a must as you will be putting the quaife anyways. I didnt do the bushings at the same time as I was getting my quaife installed and I regret it now. Saves you A LOT of money in labour costs!

yes, front and rear (all 4 arms) AND you need the rogue rear toe arms too.

Defintely get rid of the stagger, and try to get a 255 mininum on the front. you might need a 9" rim on the front. I have been trying to get that setup for a bit, hard to get the specs on the offsets you need.

you need camber plates on the front too.

Then the car will handle like a champ.

Ok appreciate it now the question is does.any vendors have the ADVAN RS-D IN 19X9 FOR the front ? I.would probally need a different offset any help on that would be great!

Just be aware that Bilstein PSS10 will lower your car quite a bit and you won't be able to raise it even at maximum height settings. Also, since you are planning to race the car I think you would be better with a flash tune as opposed to a piggyback. You need precise timing/AFR control and transitions when running the car on tracks for long periods of time.

Don't listen to this mindless opinion. (Which is easily contradicted by tons of data provided by independent users)

So ordered a set of powerflex subframe bushings for the front n rear,and AA downpipes EVERYTHING STARTS ROLLING WED. CANT WAIT

Edit: Oh I see they are just inserts. From past experience, you are much better off just putting the good bushings in the first time. It's nice that you'll only have to drop the rear subframe 1", but still might as well put the M3 pieces in.

Either way should be an improvement.

These arent the inserts these are the solid
