I just put on the koni yellow with neuspeed springs by RedShift
As for brakes I'm not sure what I'll end up using a couple options

Nice. Im running the same suspension. I like it pretty well. I did the TSX brake upgrade last fall. It's been nice as well. Looks huge on there though. You definitely have to run at least a 17" to clear the new rotor/caliper. I did not upgrade the brake master cylinder and the pedal feel is quite honestly almost the same. It's a little softer but I've got more modulation before they grab super hard.- Thread starter

So im still dialing in the suspension on how i want it. im liking it so far though. i was thinking about doing axion industries willwood smaller brake setup so i can run smaller wheels for slicks and being lightweight. if i wasnt so set on that setup i would go with that. Do you know the 9th gen si redline tuned full bolt on?

If you're hitting the drag strip a lot those wilwood brakes should be nice for running some 15's and slicks. I don't know about suspension setups for drag. For auto-x and track stuff, soft in the front and hard in the rear on the konis. It'll help the car rotate better but thats not exactly what you want at the strip.
HP wise for bolt on 9th gens? i think squiggy has a pretty complete setup and tune. @squiggy whats your car putting down, approx? 220-230 at the wheels?- Staff

Hehe. I have to say I thought those dunlop graspics were way better than the conti extreme winters I picked up. I spun and locked up the wheels a lot. Surprising with my car. I have no power.- Thread starter
