itsme Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 It all depends on what you are looking for. What do you want to improve? I know one guy that keeps buying "Bling" (BBS wheels, Brembos, etc...) when he has atleast 2 or 3 blown struts. It's all comes down to what's important to you.

DarkLegacy Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Performance is important to me So far I am getting the vibe that suspension and brakes would be a good place to start... I love to do the installs too.... So all this sounds like allot of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found after I got new springs then, my KW V.2 coil overs. The brakes felt better because the upgrade fix the excessive nose dive when braking. Now the brakes feel fine to me. If you still think you need brakes after that then go for it.

NSFW Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Catless up-pipe. PDX did a really nice post with dynos for various mods, and the UP and DP both added quite a bit, almost equal amounts if I remember right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Yeah..catless up. You can improve your brakes for a good price. Lines, Motul and Hawk HPS pads would do a world of good and you can but that kit for less than $500. Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
