Step One Complete... Need Advice!

Hey Gents!

I am thrilled with the Beyern Antler wheels I had fitted today, wrapped in Toyo Proxes 4 Plus. The fitment is perfect with zero rub on a stock suspension.

That said, I'm ready to plan phase two of upgrading this vehicle. At the moment, I'm looking into adding a JB4 which is pretty straight forward. From what I can gather it is the best brain upgrade out there with the easiest integration. Thoughts there?

From a ride perspective, I'd love to drop this thing just a touch while also upgrading the quality of the suspension overall. This is where I really need direction. I've been looking into Silver coilovers as a possibility, and see a vast sea of options out there. I have no idea what to choose. Can anyone give me some basic criteria for how to evaluate suspension upgrades?

Last, I'm interested in the best possible performance exhaust that emphasizes performance upgrade but isn't overly loud. I'd prefer to keep the noise prominent but avoid that tin can sound I hear on most exhausts. Any direction you can provide?

Thanks fellas. Lots of questions but you guys led me to the JB4 so I trust your insight.

Looks good man. Personally i would go for a flash tune from MHD rather than JB4. For lowering, there's a thread in the general section and the consensus is that KW V1 and Bilstein B12 are probably the best options out there.

I was looking at Beyern's to use for my track setup, but ended up finding a deal on a set of Apex ARC8s (paired with Potenza RE71 Rs).
