[QUOTE="FJohnny, post: 16065928, member: 191643"] I've got pretty much the same setup as you but in a '14. If you want to get rid of wheel hop a set of non-adjustable lower control arms will do the trick for you. However, you may not need them. Stickier tires often cure the problem and the S4's might be enough. If you are going to supercharge anyway maybe your driveshaft money is better saved to put toward the kit. The stock driveshaft setup is heavy but works well enough in a street setup if that's where you are going with your car. I'm guessing that's your goal because of the more handling oriented suspension kit you are buying. The supercharger will give you far more bang for your buck than the driveshaft. If you plan to stay with street tires you will spin before you overpower the stock driveshaft. My Whipple kit is a blast on the street and I've still got the stock two piece driveshaft in it. Like you, I was poised to buy the one piece but when researching it found that I wasn't going radical enough to really justify one. The one-piecers sure look a lot better, though. No pinion angle adjustment was required on mine. As a matter of fact, lowering my front by 1 inch also required no alignment adjustment. If you don't like noise, any urethane bushing you put in place of the stock rubber can be expected to raise the level. No pain, no gain, I guess. I will take a bit of noise if it means nicer drive and better handling. A set of quad GT500 mufflers look great, sound great and goes a long way to drown out any noises you don't want to hear! Install of the stuff you are going with is fun and relatively easy. I did what you are going to do completely solo but I can tell you it would be easier and a lot more fun with an extra set of hands and a few beers. Use the available youtube install videos. They help a lot and keep you from repeating steps. Supercharger kits can vary quite a bit in difficulty of install. Again, watch videos of the installs so you know what you are getting into. Good luck and have fun. You are going to LOVE the results! All the best. [/QUOTE]
