Rotorglow! Eibach springs suck. You can recreate every mod on the 08 for $1000 or less if you take time and shop used on the forums. Also, didn't see a wideband on the list of mods...no bueno

Ok awesome def going with the 2010 gsr rotor glow, can't wait to pick it up! I've been doing a lot of research on these forums and looks like I can hit above 300whp with some bolt ons and a good tune. I'm planning on using JMS out of San Antonio for my tuning needs. Anyone heard of them?

The later years seem to have most of the kinks worked out. I wish I would have known that but it's all good. I just have to upgrade some parts. But they're cars, there's always gonna something to fix
GL on your car and congrats

There is a Cobb in Austin, but they are only doing R&D atm. If you want a tune you have to drive to Plano.

Shop is right down the street from me, they did my clutch replacment when i needed it. They are the Evo experts of SA, and have seen tons of fast Evo's come out of that shop. Thats where i am going in the next couple months to get my pro-tune.

That's good to hear. I've been hearing lots of good things from a few local guys. My friend also took his turbo SS to them to get tuned and had them install a few things. He was happy with them and their work.
