    Lame key -- any upgrades??

    Yeah, I am asking about the ignition key that also has the alarm buttons on it. Seems very old school, it does not retract. If the most basic cars have better keys these days. Is there anyway to change the key, its kinda embarrassing for a car that costs as much as ours.

    Swaybars or cheap coilovers?

    Not in a hurry to lower the car but if I did it would be very minor from the standard SVTP height. I want to know what would be the best bang for the buck... making the GT500 vert. feel lighter in the turns and lane changing? I bought but have not installed BMR adjustable panhard bar and LCA.

    BPS Elbow: whp gain?

    What type of gains will this add to my setup - in signature? Is this a 10-15whp type gain - or a 7-10whp? No plans to buy one -- but I am always checking out the classifieds and wouldn't mind snagging one if its worth it. I assume its a no retune needed item.
