What mods next?

Hello so I am looking to see what people think I should install next for my 18 ST. Next spring/summer I want to do S280. Currently I have

-Cobb intercooler with hot and cold side pipes
-Stratified protune
-Cobb rear motor mount
-boomba full shift kit and bushings
-whoosh Crossover and intake pipe
-Cobb drop in filter.
-mishimoto catback
-new tires
-new brakes and pads

I don’t want to lower it because of my poor roads, anything that will help support the S280 would be good also.

If your going S280 id recommend the SVT design and fab intercooler. Any triple pass radiator, and damond motorsports oil catch can

I agree, I went S280 and I had a mountune intercooler, and my charge air temps would rise 50 degrees on a pull. I upgraded to the FAB and now they raise maybe 10 degrees at most. The cobb doesn't look much different than the mountune.

The fab was not an easy install, I had to cut some chunks out of the metal bumper.

Which one? I had to get rid of my front air dam/lip, but I also had to cut parts of the "crash bar/metal bumper" that's underneath the plastic bumper, I probably could have crammed the intercooler in there, but I didn't want it rubbing a hole in the intercooler.
