The plan is to stay close to Spec, that's why I am going with the spec diff. I will have to change headers and take off the Brembos.

Any reason you are going catless headers? I would actually suggest not doing the cat-less headers and instead just run a decent cat-back. Are you doing the SE46 Epic tune or another tune?
You have a good list right now. Get a set of race pads for the track and you will be good to run it as is with your mod list. I would save up and either get the GSR motorsports fix for the oil pump or go in there and safety wire it. Also rebuild the DISA valve while you are at it.
Who can roll fenders for me, Mach V? I will need to take the car to them anyway for alignment so if they can that would be great.
The reason I am going catless is because I got them from a guy on e46fanatics for a nice deal and figured I am not doing Spec for 5 years. Looking to make 220whp and make some nice noises, not trying to be obnoxiously loud though. "COUGH COUGH BRANDON'S COXSTER"
Was going to run Epic's E46 tune for the EGR and O2 delete. Although that is still up for debate.
Currently on vented blanks and aggressive pads. My DISA valve is working ok, is this more of a preemptive fix or is there a benefit to a rebuild.
Also the Eibachs say 1.4 inch drop F&R but don't say if that is from stock or sport suspension. If it is from stock it would drop my car about 1.1 inches F&R.
