AEM C.A.I.
POWER SLOT CRYO front rotors
BREMBO sport pads
GOODRIDGE G-STOP lines
FUZION HRI 205-55/16
KYB GR-2 shocks/struts
EIBACH pro spring kit
EIBACH anti roll bar kit
PIAA bulbs
All from Tire Rack. 1177.28 + 109.62 shipping= 1286.90
I'm only quoting T.R. for comparrison. If I can find this cheaper elsewhere I'll shop them.
AEM intake is good. got mine from NOPI. they are still on special for $173 shipped
An intake is just a pipe and a filter. When you buy aem your paying for the name and the look. Any $20 ebay intake will work fine.
the eibach pro kit and sway bar is great but make sure you get struts with it makes the world of difference

Actually, AEM has a better filter than anyone right now. They are the only dry flow filter I know of. No oil, no oil mess in the intake tube or on the sensors. I know diesel guys who swear by them, having run nearly every other brand on the market. I have a spare K&N and REVTEC cone lying around and refuse to use them because of the oil issue.
Thanks for the inputs.

Sorry, man. NOPI is listing them starting at $244. Advance sells them for $251, 2 day order wait. I had bad luck ordering parts online from Black Forrest Industries online (still waiting on my Jetta grille after 3 months.) I'll pay the extra $7 and get it in person.
Any intake even a cheap ebay one would be fine.
POWER SLOT CRYO front rotors, Love mine
FUZION HRI 205-55/16, why not go with 225-50/16.... I have Yokohama Es100 and LOVE them.
KYB GR-2 shocks/struts, go with KYB AGX struts, not stock replacements. The GR-2 are just stock replacement struts.
EIBACH pro spring kit, Love them with my KYB AGX Struts.

This is all opinion, not fact. I still prefer K&N, but I'm probably bias. Even though I currently do not run one. I have NEVER HEARD of your oil issue.

It is an issue with cars that have a MAF sensor (i.e. cobalts, mustangs, GTP's, etc). Oil will not cause problems with your IAT, MAP or IAC, which are the only sensors inline of the intake. Our cars come from the factory with the pcv attached to the intake, and engine oil does get in the intake and intake manifold...so dryflow or not, it doesn't matter with our cars.
And an intake is an intake. It is a stretch of piping with a rubber elbow and filter. I can get the same filter, same diameter mandrel bent piping, a silicone elbow and still pay less than for an AEM.

I've got premium. Yes I do. I've got premium. How 'bout you?
Installed a K&N yesterday. Gas mileage seemed to improve, as did upper rpm response. I thought about the closed loop egr system and it made sense.
The problem with oil filters is not the design, it is the people who re-oil them wrong.
They saturate the filters and pop them back on.
I lightly spray the entire out and inside.
Then let it rest on paper towels for an hour and then I do the same process of spraying and letting it rest on towels to get the excess oil off.
I tap it a few times after it rests on the towels. I also wipe off all the rubber parts to make sure there is no oil.
I have not had any problems with the filter. I look past the filter and feel around for oil and there is none. Also I checked the sensor many times and it doesn't have oil on it.
AEM filters sound like they are nice too. But you can't re-use them and are probably $30 or more to replace.
Doing that every 15k miles is kinda pricey.
The drop in K&N has made a difference but it is more of a helper in preventing a vaccuum at WOT which is more of a device of preventing loss of hp than gaining. The filter alone gains maybe 1 hp over stock filter. But, how many horses are prevented from being lost thanks to there being enough air coming in under demand of WOT?
i didnt care for the fuzion tires i had i am using potenza G 009's and i like them better than the FUZION

I used to work for Bridgestone/Firestone and we produced the potenza's and sold the fuzion's. I agree the G009's are 100 times better but they are a bit more pricey.
i didnt pay to much i think it was $658 for the tires, mounting,and the roadside
