Yes, reach out to Alpha Motorsports in Markham. Honestly, price will be cheaper than if you bought it directly in the states even.

19" VFF 107 in the matte carbon.
Pretty big list of other mods on the car already...mostly cosmetic at this point since the car only has 50km on it! I did swap out the DP for a Fabspeed Sportcat and I got the MPE with the car...thing is so loud on cold start...my wife hates it...but I told her I can't sneak out of the house this way!! Plan to do a Dinan P2 upgrade (CAI, IC, Turbo, Tune) once I get some km's on the car - say 30,000kms...need to drive it "stock" for a while so I can appreciate the differences..and keep up with the new CS coming out next year!! |

I am planning for full Dinan S2 package (ECU Tune, Fuel Pump, IC, Turbo, Sway bars, Ball Joints, Rear Suspension) Currently debating between Ohlins & Dinan Coilover. I am also looking at FF04 19'' 265F/285R MPS4S. I had Fabspeed, but my wife kept complaining about the emission said that it releases too much CO2.. As Fabspeed sport cat DP comes with 200 CELL, so I sold it and switched to 300 CELL apkrapovic catted DP.... I already have asked the quote on Dinan stuff to Budds and looking out to get it done after few track runs as stock before REAL summer comes in July or Aug. Also keeping up with M2C news as well. I personally do not want to trade but if price point goes well... and the figures compared to Dinan S2 (with repect to the $$ needs to be spent in comparison), I might go for M2C but highly doubt it at this point haha. |

Are you on a list somewhere?? Because if not, you won't be getting an M2CS anytime soon. Budds said they had 7 people on their list already and that was back in December, before the car was even "official". When I asked how many allocations they would get for MY19 he said 2 or 3. lol, so the math says that the guy in spot 7 is already two years out or MY2021. No thanks. I have 56kms on my MY18...I haven't even driven the one I have.

I thank you for your referral. I did actually ask about 5 different places but they came out to be the best price. So I put deposit already. I also purchased a HRE FF04 19'' + MPS4S and they will arrive in about week and a half. When weather gets better, I will have my new wheels mounted and then visit Alpha to install coilovers. Cheers! |

90/190 is a bit harsh as per other forumers... 80/160 at the softest setting appears to be similar than stock ride harshness

Hmmm... how many clicks front and rear are u going with? I will be tracking mine starting this summer so i wish to go with more planted setting with 90/190 and 8 clicks front and rear so having harsh spring rates front and back are ideal for me. I dont mind giving harder ride but maybe 80/160 with 10 clicks could be better for daily riding... when r u getting urs mounted? I am also thinking 265/30/19f and 285/30/19r i dont know how much my wheel can do with these tire setup without camber plates front. I was thinking not to go with camber plates... Very hard decision haha

If you're tracking then you really do need camber plates. I'm an intermediate driver and 2 weekends have taken the shoulders off my MPSS. I regretted not installing camber plates last year, this year they're going on to go with my new Apex FL05 + RE71-R. I'm sticking with stock suspension for another year.
Does anyone have recommendations for a good shop for suspension work, etc on the west side of Toronto (Mississauga, Brampton area)? |

I will be using my car for spirited driving during summer, but not much tracking. I will probably go from 0 to 6 clicks to ensure close to stock ride harshness, but a more planted drive. I can always bring it to 12-20 clicks if I end up hiting the track I will order the kit late March, early April. Let me know how it goes with yours! Simon |

Alpha makes me a good deal on GC... They say they order more GC than Vorshlag (I had Vorshlag on my STI but GC looks to be as good)

Currently I am more towards TC Kline than GC, as they do have nonsliding design preventing adjustment moving... But I will consider GC as an option if decent deal offered from Alpha. Thanks again for your info. |
