Where to go for stage 2? My guess is Accessport and some turbo upgrade.
The H-techs seem to be just a little bit stiffer as far as a regular ride than the stock springs but I can tell more of a difference when i really get into a turn. They seem to stiffen up a lot quicker once you put them under pressure. I hadn't heard about that bug guard notice, I might have to ask around about that. I do like the look of it but I'm more about functionality than looks...

For stage 2, well, I shouldn't need an access port since I'm planning on going with openECU in the next couple weeks to complete stage one. I do have a good many other plans for then as well too. The turbo upgrade is included in my stage 3 plans .
