    My review of Caste System Performance

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi, I own a 2009 S5 V8. I was bitten by the record breaking bug. JHM's S5 has the fastest All Motor record with bolt on's. And I want to bring it home. Lol
    There's only one company I trusted to take on the challenge. Caste system performance.
    James Castellano and the guys of CSP are nothing short of amazing. I asked and he delivered. Here's the rundown of the work they put in.

    Suspension and chassis
    H&R Front & Rear Sway bars
    Bilstein B16 Ride Control
    10mm wheel spacers f&r
    034 X-brace
    034 trans mount insert
    034 strut mount
    JHM solid rod and cross bar upgrade

    Transmission and drivetrain
    Driveshaft Shop carbon driveshaft
    034 street density trans mount upgrade
    034 rear diff front mount insert
    034 rear diff carrier mount insert
    JHM stage 4 lightweight flywheel/clutch combo
    JHM short throw shifter
    JHM high bias center diff
    USP stainless clutch line
    JHM stainless shift knob with Caste System performance's logo
    Cartek shift light

    Engine and management
    APR Carbonio air intake
    034 throttle inlet hose
    JHM lightweight crank pulley
    JHM tune
    BFI catch can
    IP plasma coils
    ECS oil filter cap
    Cartek canbus signal converter
    P3 Cars VIDI
    Sprint booster

    Wheels Tire and Brakes
    Street setup: 19" BBS CH wheels 19x8.5 with Vredestein All Season tires
    Drag setup: 17" TSW 19lbs wheels with BFG Comp2 255/45/17
    JHM brake lines
    JHM Front & Rear lightweight rotors
    Hawk HPS brake pads
    Exhaust
    JHM test pipes
    GMG Racing cat back exhaust

    Body
    Caractere front bumper
    RS grille
    GMG Racing rear diffuser
    QTP cutout
    Carbon fiber hood

    The is a breast, just like James said it would be. Caste System performance pored their harts into this car. Just like they do on all their customer's rides.
    Without setting the suspension up and with winter tires the S5 ran 13.2@104! Now fully setup it should go into the 12's.
    I enjoy a launching at 5600 rpms time after time. The exhaust sounds amazing. Then when I open up the cutout ,it's sounds epic. At shows, crowds wait to see if I'm gonna do another all wheel burnout. It's great.
    This S5 almost feels like it's rear wheel drive thanks to the center diff upgrade.
    There are times when I come up with an idea in the middle of the night , send James a message so he could get back to me when ever he can. And to my surprise he answers back. Who does that's? The way I've seen CSP dedicate themselves to their customers, is nothing short of amazing.
    CSP did their job, it's my turn to show what this car can do.
    If anyone would like to see CSP's hard work in action, we will be at Waterfest in the Drag competition. Sponsored by Caste System Performance.

    Then over the winter CSP will install JHM's stage 1 supercharger with a snow performance's water meth direct port kit. 034 Motorsport Engine Mounts, JHM's oil separator heater bypass, JHM's HPFP, and hopefully a water to air intercooler.
