17 ilx

Just picked up an ILX, interested in doing some light to moderate stuff to it.

Wheels (God why are these base wheels so ugly?)
Springs
Intake or something to give it a tap of hp.
Spoiler

Really trying to keep it simple. Coming from a highly modified E90 M3. Switched it up to save some coin for a house soon.

Any suggestions on parts?


Thanks

Thanks

I asked and was told "designed to reduce road noise". I think it's just drown out by the gasps from the audience.
I'm polishing a set of TS9's for spring.
It's all new so there isn't much available yet. From what I've read, the '14+ Si coil overs fit.

Thanks for the info. Assuming the suspension is all the same still so 2016 lowering springs will do the trick on this new budget of mine.


wheels are going to be a different story.

Congrats on the new car! Looks like you have a good list of mods to get yourself started.

Yeah, may hold off or may go balls to the wall. Kinda hard to justify dropping $2500 on a leased car on some of this stuff. Not that I haven't before...
