Thanks to Jimmy and Kenny @Street Performance, I had my Bilstein B8 Struts and Shocks installed this past weekend. The install went pretty nicely, other than those 2 front struts, which is a bitch to pop in because of the paint on them struts.

Initial review, ride differences is extremely noticeable. Very stiff compared to oem. My side skirts usually scrape when going over higher speed bump, now it doesn't scrape at all on the same bumps. In general, cornering and going over bumps are very "composed," or "tidy." OEM shocks gives me these banging noises going over bumps. This B8 is very quiet comparing to OEM. Overall, a great replacement! Next is going to be the RSB.

Just a little update on the power-side of the business. 2 years ago I had a dyno run with the MSpeed guys at APH, resulted in a 286whp/353wtq pull. 2 years later, I joined the dyno day at APH again, with a few power mods and a great tune by @Fobio at MSpeed. The car pulled a run at 323whp/372wtq. I'll post the dyno sheet in my next post as I have the picture stored in my phone. All I gotta say is Great tune, Vincent. As for the hard parts, it's all done by Jimmy@Street Performance.

I owe Vincent and the MSpeed guys a big thanks. Vincent, Paul ( @CelestSpeed3 ) and a few guys at MSpeed helped me big time with my car in the past. My car kinda went into a few problems after I started the power mods. Even though it's kinda expected when modding for power, but Vincent stood behind his work big time, troubleshooting problems, one after another. Another great example is the OCC. Jimmy had some issue with the install, where the bracket didn't quite fit in my car, due to a weird SRI set up. Called up Vincent, and within 20 minutes, Paul dropped by Jimmy's place and made a mount right there for me. I don't know what to call this but that gave me confident in both their work and products.

Mods if this needed to be moved to MSpeed review, please do so.
