Ended up going that route to avoid the headache of sourcing replacement parts, getting injectors cleaned, and general second-hand purchases.
There are definitely faster cars out there but the 550 kit sure does scratch the itch. My only regret is not buying earlier so I could have enjoyed it more during the warm summer months this year.
Next stop... suspension refresh and wheel/tire upgrades...

Nice! At 100+k miles I replaced every control arm and it made a wonderful difference for the feel of the car. I am still running on the original non-EDC coil overs. I prefer the stock height and everything lowers the car so not in a hurry but know it’s coming due to address. I may end up just refreshing with oem springs and struts. But I’ve got some wheel hop and figure to do subframe and diff mounts when I finally pull the trigger.
