Good channel. I have the noisy Forge system. Cut the inlet trumpet off, shortened the inlet pipe with a hacksaw, and reattached it inside the engine compartment. No noticeable effect on performance and no intake racket. 👍

Excellent video. Love AR.

The Bilsteins are a better option, the standard set-up is really harsh and "busy". The b16s aren't plush by any means, but seem more compliant and controlled with regards to rebound and dampening.

@AR Autos How much did those mods roughly cost on your car and breakdown? Really interested so i can Budget for mine

does the comp not already have eibach springs stock? i have a stock 2019 comp ( bought new)and it have red eibach springs with the koni shocks.

[@arautosspecialists]

It does! Just not 30mm lowered ones.

I found the standard suspension set up really harsh and busy.... I upgraded to Bilstein b16s and they're more compliant and controlled, not perfect but a significant improvement over stock.

I’m interested in putting spacers on my essessse . Standard ride height on the koni shocks. The only thing that’s stopping me from fitting wheel spacers is the worry of stone chips. Anyone elaborate on this.?

[@arautosspecialists]

I haven't found stone chips to be a problem with spacers. Definitely worth getting on the Essesse! I recommend 12 on the front 15 on the back.
