You'll want a camber bolt for the front for the alignment for the rear, i don't think its required but lower control arms is something to look into.

If you want less wheel gap go with eibach pro-kit lowering springs its a 1" drop and makes the car sit perfect IMO.

I suggest pork chops and a nice salad, dirt cheap pretty tasty, maybe a fruit smoothy to wash it down as a pseudo desert.

I'd like to give e85 a shot but the nearest station is in Annapolis ~1.5 hours away. The BPB's seem promising especially with the OFT tune minimizing (eliminating) the top end gains and keeping the mid-range. Lowering will happen soon too but after a final drive swap most likely (4.56 weir gear). Many thanks for the recommendations guys!

Have you tried maxing out your 401k? That's usually the best bang for your buck.
