something to increase camber and caster. maybe camber/caster plate?
+1, I want to lower the car and have somewhat decent geometry. And have some nice wide wheels. I can't have a 2012 S chassis so this will have to do

Id keep it N/A with boltons, cams, valve springs, retainers, and make it a high reving N/A machine. Id love to see this thing made out to be a bad ass track car. I also agree with a single exit diffuser and exhaust since weight savings would be great.

Supercharger kit with Intercooler, upgraded injectors and ROM-tuned ECU.

Roots, Centrifugal, Twin Screw, I don't care. Make it reliable and less $$ than HKS and you'll have a winner!

Make it what you think it should be if it were to carry an STI badge.

How about brake duct kits using the OEM fog light hole to directly venting air into the center of the brake disk?

Also adjustable control arms would be nice.

I'd like something like this. Some FI kit that will let it hang with V6s on the straight and will be reliable so I can redline it every day. As for price, I rather pay more and have it be reliable than trying to undercut another company and end up with something less than as good as it can be ^_^

Why are you asking Evasive to look into such a mundane task? Light weight batteries are readily available off the shelf.

Kits developed in Japan and sold here are always significantly more than kits offered by companies in the U.S. There's a reason people nickname HKS and GReddy "HK$" and "Greedy". It shouldn't be hard to make one over here that's of the same or better quality for less money (without copying anyone's design, either).

yea they are.. and it would be nice if they weighed the stock one, and stock bracket, and possibly designed a new lighter smaller bracket for one of those readily available off the shelf batteries.

like a braille battery + custom bracket deal.

there's lots of things readily available off the shelf, doesnt mean people dont appreciate something bolt on, and custom fitted.

besides..relax, it was just a suggestion. its not something they have to do.
