If I decide to keep the car for a relatively long time, then yes, it's probably worth it. But I keep asking myself if I should just save my money for something faster like a used C6. I think I'd be less tempted to mod something like a C6.

Just wondering where others stand.

Why? What do you find in the car that needs to be improved? Have you driven it enough to know what the car needs?

I suggest you drive your car for at least 7-8 months before you make a decision on modding it. Specifically because you made this post and you aren't even sure of your own decision You need more time to decide and research if the modding path you're going down is worth it and if you really need to do it on the car. A C6 is nothing like this car, it doesn't have the connected feel or agility you'd find on this car.

As for what you've selected I can say safely if you're getting a UEL don't get it without a tune of some sort either OFT or EcuTek or the like. Wider rims won't add much and springs sacrifice drivability in some conditions
