After months of stalking these forums, I finally pulled the trigger and got one.
Can't wait to start fiddling with things
2013 xS sedan (7AT) loaded with all the bells and whistles. From what I've read here, I'm looking into sways and a grounding kit to bring it to life. And of course I'll need a tint... and... Oh, this is gonna be an expensive addiction.

 

Oh well, there's plenty of worse addictions out there
Welcome to the site and have fun modding!

 

Nice sedan and welcome from norcal

 

Ordering the hotchkis sways today.. are there any other parts I need for install?

 

You may eventually want new end links but you can get by w/ the OEM ones for now.

 

That's what I was reading, but who makes endlinks for the AWD? Also, will the stock bushings be ok, or will I need the hotchkis kit for an extra $200?

 

The Hotchkiss is quite a bit thicker so you'd need new bushings, the sways come with the bushings AFAIK. Wish I could help w/ the end links, might post that question in the suspension folder.
Here's the info from Hotchkiss, and unless you got yours used w/out bushings it should come w/ them.

Sways on the way! Now I'm looking into a nice tint once it warms up a little. Trying to balance appearance and performance by alternating my mods thanks for your help so far with everything.

 

Welcome to the forum and congrats - you have great looking ride! There are lots of great choices for parts, services and many owners willing to help you. Good luck with all your plans and keep us posted!

 

Because its my daily and I'm just playing around with smaller mods (for now), what is the general consensus on the hypertech? I'm not doing anything drastic just looking for an OEM+ feel, and I dont have any juicy supporting mods yet to warrant an Uprev or Ecutek tune. I've searched the forums and I've seen a 50/50 split on love/hate on the hypertech. I should note that I'm not really looking for any number jump, so much as better initial throttle response and BUTT DYNO feel. I've read about the whole 0-60 restriction, although I'm skeptical. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys!
