Hey people, I'm a noob so bear with me. What do you guys suggest be my first mod? You think I should start with appearance or performance? Thanks.

 

turbo or air ride and twankies

 

or a 2500 stereo with full a/v including wireless computer.........

ok, maybe a few of those things are outta reach! so get clear turn signals and call it a day.......haha.........

check my WWW for some pics of my car.......

 

Slam it to the ground.

 

Springs/shocks or coilovers.

 

clear corners....mostly everyone's first one i think

or suspension

 

my first was my AEM CAI

 

hi, plz post pics of yourself. thanks.

 

get a deck...

 

I think I'm gonna lower it first. Looks good and rides better with one shot. What kinda springs? Eibach?

 

I second that motion.

 

yupp ^^

if you decide to drop your car, you should buy jic coilovers. also, buy an fmax turbo kit.

 

tein coilovers

 

weld on a bov onto your short ram or cold air intake.

 

Drop and some rims, gotta get 19's.

 

:P Hows that supposed to help? But maybe I will if you guys continue to be supernice!

 

We're also going to continue asking until it happens :P

I would say shocks/springs if you want to go looks first, CAI if you want to go engine first.

 

tanabe,apex,or jic coilovers

 

you can read the sticky up top for newbies

as for me, my CAI and clears are my 1st mods. need to save some $$$ for a drop. dif look much better w/ a drop.

good luck

 

if i were you, dpeending on your experience aznd knowledge of cars...i would stay simple and do either an eibach sport suspen. with kyb agx's or nuespeed sport springs with agx's...or some tokico's are good....mine is nuespeed sports and agx's........if you dont want that low go with eibach prokits.........with prokits you dont need a camber kit, with anything lower you need a front camber kit.the back will be fine

 

Shocks/Springs or CAI.

FYI to the above post: I ended up needed a camber kit later on and I have a prokit/KYB combo.

 

yup, ive been running a 3" drop with adjustable coilovers, and i have mean camber wear on the front 2 tires. on the edges, theyre like slicks.. hahahahha. one tire is about to blow anytime now..

 

always drop a car first

 

Thanks people!

 

You should probably try to do something about that...

 

i'd say start with cosmetics: clear corners, shaved emblems, indiglos, etc. then move your way to the suspension. in my opinion about the CL ... go looks before performance. you're the second asian girl i know with a cl. what's your ethnicity?

 

ah no need to worry untill you see the steel belt. Anyways, getting new tires is gonna be a bitch unless you go a little smaller sidewall it will still be a bitch tho.

 

gotta buy teins and rims soon.

 

I think I'm gonna start out w/ looks first. What it'll be, I'm not sure. Eh, it'll depend on my mood. And I'm Korean. But very twinkie/banana like.

 

Ah thinking bout the teins but i saw the jis mite be better with the camber trip. Eventually tho, i think i mite throw $$ into air ride i gotta check on the ride tho 1st. Hopefully by the cl/tl cruise ill have kit, rims, new stereo setup.

Btw, speedgear motorsports has the tein ss for 950 same as blkmajic and groupbuycenter quoted me shipped.

 

 

Re: tein coilovers

the tein ss shipped to hawaii will run you $950 total.

thanks,

I got my teins from Arnold...he was great doing business with if that counts for anything

 

when im ready to buy the SS, ill let you know what he says.

 

Shoots

 

True! However it depends on how much $$$ you have to spend as well! Droppin' your ride is not cheap!

Somethin' like clear corners is one of the cheapest and easiest mods to start with, but if you want performance, I'd start with intake, and if you want major looks, then drop it like it's hot!
