Next round of mods coming.
Well boys, my house is on the market and I am planning the next round of mods. Right now I have a dual cone air Intake and Borla straight pipes. Here's the list:
Corbeau evolution x seats
Ceramic coated headers
X pipe with cats
New hoses
New fluids
Tune
Shocks and anti sway bars (probably going Cultrag's c6 options)
Rotors, stainless lines, pads(not sure how to approach brakes)
Budget will be around 7k. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated. My car is a DD, about 30k or so miles a year. I drive hard sometimes, and my brakes have been fading in the desert heat(and it's not even hot yet). I just put on duralast gold pads f&r and they are low dust, high fade parts. Need better stopping ability for sure. BremBo kits looks nice but it's 7k for parts f&r...

Evo x seats are great. For a DD c6z brakes will suffice. You need good fluid with a high wet boiling point, I like Motul.

Sounds like some nice mods planned for the car.
C6 Z06 sways and shocks are popular and work well. Headers like Kooks, LG, ARH, XS Power are all popular and will help wake up the car.

My baby is at Vengeance Racing now getting a breathing treatment. Here is a pic they sent me in the last build update.

I have Wilwood Aero6 +4 kit and worth the 4k to do it right and be done with it. C6 Z06 brakes will be a huge upgrade as well for half the price.
Same with suspension. I started off with new bilstein shocks ect when I really should have went with coilovers in the beginning. Now have stance coilovers and love them for the street.
Your seat choice is great as that and a new steering wheel and MGW shift box will give you the connection needed with the brakes and suspension.
Good luck on your journey.
