thanks for the comments (probably wouldn't lower it though)!

I'd probably upgrade the headunit soon + possibly add a TRD supercharger to it later on. Paint detailing/possible repaint isn't out of the question either.

Have witnessed a slight decrease in ride quality, but I am enjoying the stiffness.

Rear sway + TRD strut brace next.

Installed a Ultra Racing Strut Brace today.

Had to remove the upper strut nuts on the left Strut to allow the strut to drop when I jacked the car, in order for the brace to fit.

make much difference over the standard brace? im thinking there may not be that great a difference

Took her out for a spin tonight and I can notice a difference. Whether it's a placebo effect or not is a different story.

The front feels tighter but I can definitely feel the body roll in the rear now.

Heya Andrew!

Nice ride there dude!

Just wondering on your thoughts on your full exhaust system that you have done.....

Was there a big difference? I did see that the curves on the dyno sheet looked pretty clean.

Is it worth forking out the money for it?

Cheers dude!!

Keep it up.

Go the 5 Speed V6!!! Although I wish it was a six speed and better ratios hehe

Was very happy with spending the money for the full exhaust system.

I gained alot of power in the lower end of the spectrum which is useful, especially from a standing start. It's hard to say how much I gained from it, simply because I haven't really pushed it in the higher gears. However, dropping it into 3 @ 100kph, theres' still alot of pull which makes overtaking alot easier to do as well.

from ~60 - ~100kph in 2nd gear, the engine + exhaust sings a really nice tune and you can really feel the pull.

In addition to the power gain, I gained fuel efficiency as well. I was getting around 14-15L/100 prior to the install, and since I've got the work done, my average has been 12.71L/100 over ~8200km.

Well worth it, but expect to pay a penny or two!

Sounds awesome dude!

Yeah I figured I need a little more on the lower to mid end especially for start offs with our heavy cars.

I mean, if you do experience a significant difference (for the better), it definately wouldn't be a waste of money.

It's gonna take me a while to be able to get all these things now since I'm need to keep money for other things lol

But thanks for the experience-sharing

Oh and keep up the good work! hehe
