Another New Guy

[grimlock212]

I’m another new FiST guy, but I did own a FoRS a while back. I picked up what appears to be a stock 2019 FiST in Platinum White with every option and 40K miles. I could have done without the sunroof, so hopefully they don’t leak. I purchased the car sight unseen, but had a friend check it out so hopefully he didn’t miss anything. The car is supposed to be delivered on Wednesday, so I’m excited!

I’ve already compiled a mod list, but it is subject to change, but here it is:
Phase 1
Cobb Accessport
whoosh V3 intercooler
Dizzy Tune
Drop-in filter
RMM
Car Cover

Phase 2
Swift Springs
Bilstein B6

Phase 3
Michelin PS5 tires
Konig Hypergram 17x8 4x108 ET40
Thermal Exhaust

Let me know if I’m missing anything important. I’m an older owner, so I’m trying to keep the car subtle but spunky. There’s a good chance I’ll skip Phase 3 completely if I’m happy after the first two phases. Plus I need to go through the car and see if there are any hidden mods already on the car.

I would go on cobb and get a stage 1 power. It comes with RMM Accessport intake and adapter. I have yet to do any upgrades to mine and I still love it. Good luck.

Welcome aboard!

Might reconsider the B6s for B8s, otherwise looks like a great mod list. Anxious to see if yet another person enjoys the FiST over the RS. Welcome Aboard!!

That was my plan after I read the same thing. That was until I did a ton of research, and it seems that Swift says to use the B6 with their springs since it is a mild drop in ride height. There definitely seems to be some confusion on this, so if I’m wrong, let me know.

This was the thread that made me think B6’s are correct with Swift springs.

I'd definitely trust Ron over me B6 it is.

Yeah, I totally get it since I went through the same process.

Yes, if I ever go that same parts route, would use the B6es as well.
