Well, its about time for the parts to flood the market for our Xs. Thought I'd start a post for new product releases and to discuss which ones are best, and if the new product offers any advantages over the existing products of that type.
Let the debate begin...

I'll let you guys know how the Works brain flash goes. I'm driving around their prototype X until I get mine back tomorrow. It has the brain flash in it right now along with the drop-in filter and a custom exhaust (not their stealth muffler), along with their short throw, springs, AME TM-02's, brake lines, etc. I'll post a review later.

Hey Mike, since that SSQV is X specific, does that mean full recirc?

When is that 6 speed coming out. If there is one gripe I have about the car is no 6th speed. Im ok with ratio for now It just really needs a 6th gear for the Highway. My drive everyday is 50miles all highway.

Did someone say 6 SPEED? I likey. I have 3k and I'm ready for another gear dammit lol. I do a 40 mile commute and it sucks my gas like a 10 dollar hooker:p. I don't need a dogbox though. Normal cut gears would be fine

I wonder how much Mits would ream me to throw an SST in this bastard? Doh

Well, for the month of may, I'd say there were some pretty good upgrades released. Upper and Lower Intercooler pipes for $300, some ecu stuff, several exhausts, Eibach springs, etc. I'd say that the best upgrade for the month, IMO were the Eibach springs. Despite the availibility of some $2000+ coilovers, the springs are still a great upgrade. Eventually, the dampers will be out and there is already the anti-roll-kit. I'm still undecided about which way I'm gonna go w/ the suspension, but thats the great thing about the Eibachs, they're inexpensive, easy to get, are aesthetically pleasing, and improve the handling greatly. If I decide to go a different route later, I'm not out much, but meanwhile I will really enjoy the change.
Eibach gets my vote.
