Well I have accumulated around $1400 for graduation and I will not be doing any of the installs. Here are my plans for mods...tell me if you think I should do different things:

Mods so far on my car: Tint, Contiextremecontact tires, aem intake

My plans:
H&R Sport Springs $190
Tokico Hp (Blues) $270
Eibach Sways $299
OBX Headers $331
Installation all at once.

What do you guys think

 

what kinda car you got? dont see a sig.....

 

2003 Cl-S

 

Sounds like a good use of $1400 to me!

You may wanna also consider the Mugen thermostat mod -- that's pretty cheap and people seem to think it's worth while.

 

What does the thermostat do again, does it help the car perform in hot florida weather?

 

It'll keep the engine cooler, so you won't be robbed of as much power. I'm probably gonna do it soon to mine.

 

Aww that would be perfect for florida, wonder if its worth it.

 

nice mods...ur car will feel so different...

 

By the way if anyone can beat those prices please tell me!

 

I guess my mod combo is the best for $1400

 

sounds like a good list to me..a little apearnace wise and preformance wise...go for it

 

is the thermostat good for all types of weather or just for hot and humid? i live in cali, can we all benefit from it.

 

screw the tokico's get koni yellows or buy some tein ss coilovers. the headers and swaybars area good idea.

koni yellows r the shit i swear by them if your going the spring/shock combo. best $500 i spent on my cl by far.

 

Take your 1,400.00 and buy the Comptech headers
and use the rest for the springs.
You'll be happy you did in the long run.

 

nice choice of mods..

are the obx headers still for sale though??

 

Damn, $1400 for graduation, from what? if you are just out of high school or college I say spend half on the car and save half. boo-hoo.
I guess times are different than when I grew up. I wasn't driving a $30,000 car when I graduated from hs or college.
Enjoy your prizes.

 

Not bad man... thats what i did last week...

Axis Se7en Mods
H&R sport springs
Comptech Sways
Comptech Icebox
Comptech Headers (next week)

Your car will be totally different... You will love it even more

 

Thanks, its for high school, I worked really hard and my grandparents found it appropriate...I have a lot of money saved so I will be using this on the car....

DarrinB: What do you mean are OBX headers still being sold
Sonor Kid: You are crazy right....
VXCL: Whats wrong with my combination to drop, I want the other modifications, and the H&R drop looks nice, and I hear the tokico are about a 3 out of 5 for stiffness, which should be just perfect

 

sounds good to me

 

Guys with the installation of any of these parts such as sways and things, what special things do I need to tell the installer to do in order to prevent squeaking and problems

 

save yourself some money and install the sways and headers yourself, that's about 4+ hrs of labor the installer won't be charging u.

 

all im sayin is u only got once chance to do it. koni yellows are better then the tokico blues hands down and i think every one here will agree. not to mention they allow to drop or raise the car which is great to get even wheel gap. (can only be done during install though) and most importantly u can adj them to whatever stiffness you want whenever you want. their customer support is great also if you ever have any probs. they gave my friend a new shock when he blew his from not having a bump stop. (which they could have said go f urself) think about it cuz once they are on thers no turning back without alot of wasted $$$$.

 

will you be runnin on stock rims/tires?

 

Yes stock rims 235/45/17 rubber...what ya think?

 

ya, ive seen lots of CL's dropped with stockers on...looks tight STILL.......

 

lol i thought maybe tire size and rims had something to do with the likeliness of if i had to get a camber kit or not, not how it looks but thatll work.

How much do these camber kits cost? I hear you prob only need em for the rear?

 

I got my H&R sports for $156.95 shipped. My car is a 2001 CL-S though, so, I don't know if the price is the same for a 2003.

 

Where labmeister?

 

keep saving and go for the S/C

 

Thats a good list of mods.

After its all done you'll be driving a whole different car.
