I took your lead when I decided on the AGX/S-Tech combination. Some people look at me like "WTF" when I tell them what I'm using. Not sure why exactly, but I think they consider coilovers a staple upgrade for S-chassis. At this point it looks like I'll go the custom strut body / Koni route Monty is heading down, but I certainly haven't made up my mind.
I've also gotten similar looks/comments when people find out I'm using the stock T25. As many times as I've explained the reasoning, I should just print cards to hand to people.
Just to be safe though: it's because the car doesn't need any more power right now. It needs safety, reliability, and driver upgrades before anything else!
Along the same lines, my latest upgrades have been reliability-related per the above conversation, and most 2008 upgrades will either be the same or for safety. I would like to get a half cage installed in the Spring to at least stiffen up the rear and give me some rollover protection, with the remaining part of the cage hopefully coming a year from then. We'll see how things go...I am still working on the wife to get her to understand that although a cage/seats/harnesses are a lot of money, they're primarily to keep me from getting really hurt. You'd think this would be a priority for her with the baby/mortage/whatever, but she hasn't quite caught on yet.
