If you're taking off the exhaust system, you might as well part out the EA. If you're happy with your current stereo, transfer it across to the EF, as well as the superlows.

As for what to do to the EF, that's up to you. Or you can post a new thread with a poll in it here in E-Series Poll Land <tm>, everybody here luffs them.

Fair enough. But regarding asking us for our opinions on what you should do to the EF, you should've gotten an idea of things to do to an E-Series with ownership of your EA. No need to ask others for what you should have ;)

*EDIT* coz you'll get responses like Patto's! :

Get a CAM for it, pending funds look at a chip, or wheels

I'm not touching that one, for example some people swear by Monroes, others say they're crap, etc etc

Your best bet is to go to your local suspension specialist and enquire about shocks to suit SL front and UL rear ride heights. Also consider a camber kit so that the geometry is all OK still after lowering.

I suggest searching for all the mods you're thinking of, they will have been covered in E-Series many times over.
