what i would want to do would be too much money for me at the moment (three way, true rear coil, reinforced rear mounts). so should i compromise and go with a two way divorced setup and forego the karbonius intake? i'm torn. both options are going to enhance things i love about the car. the coilovers are going to be the obvious greater effect, but its going to bother me that i compromised...
on the other hand, i'm not going to be competitive with an intake that adds 10hp, no matter how good it sounds.

Suspension for sure. I have true coilover and no reinforcement. Also ran true coilover on my e46 with no reinforcement for 20k miles and no issues. But I see no reason divorced would be any dis advantage.
The lower portion of the rear true coiler set up has a different size spacer where it offsets the shock in the control arm. They did this to avoid the spring rubbing on the axle boot.
