Its definitely a lot of fun going stage 2 but you might want to start a savings fund for a heavy duty clutch if you want to keep building and make more power. With ease |

Sorry for the long response, it is my honest opinion and figured others might find it interesting to see what they are getting themselves into (not to scare them off, just to educate them). Feel free to chime in, I would love to be talked off the edge but I think my decision is the responsible one. |

Additionally, clutch is a wear & tear item. Under the same logic, you should not use your star specs because you will wear them out. Personally, I think you met your goal (with your current set up) way too fast. But you had a goal for a reason. This is what your heart desired at the time. Just 1 thing, do not ever regret your decisions of the past since you cannot change it. Look ahead. My 2 cents. |

You can't "drive the car hard every single time you get behind the wheel " ... Like you stated above .
I've been at a stage 2 for at least 17k miles .... No problems besides the air in my slave cylinder ..... To me , I love knowing I have the power at my disposal . But I don't feel the need to let the beast out every time I drive . The canyon takes it outta me . I rarely hit target boost in a 3 week period . All I'm saying is , change your driving habits before you tear the car down ..... Slow and low ... |

I would say you keep the parts Jordan. The car will be the perfect daily driver once you upgrade to a ACT clutch or something along those lines. i have been on same ACT clutch for 40k now. You will be losing more money selling your current setup and it would be less fun when you want to go vroom. You aren't taking anything away from your reliability with the setup you have now. If you drive hard every day, **** is going to break no matter what you do... Stop being a knucklehead 18 yr old or however young you are and chill out unless you are at the track or those canyons that we never really drive in .
Right now your car breathes better and is better cooled. You just need that last piece and you are done. The car looks and sounds great and it would just be a waste of all that time and effort. Now if you were talking about holding off on race car, I could definitely understand. Do the upgrade and you will be fine and still be able to giggle like a little kid when you open that valve on the weekends. |

Right you are Chino! Not even saving up, just waiting on the arrival of. I know there are some people out there who have run pinks with the stock struts & while it's less than ideal, it's not the worst. That being said, I'll have to just not be so eager and wait for my Konis to get here.

Definitely worth the wait. Pinks + stock 08 dampers = blown dampers in a heartbeat. Hell, you could sneeze at them and watch them crumble.
