I have had the AEM CAI for some time and I want to do some more mods. Which of the following should I do first?

1) Tein SS Coil overs and Comptech (or another brand) swaybars

2) Comptech Headers and Greddy EVO2 Cat-Back

3) 18 inch wheels

Thanks!

 

depends, are you going for looks or speed?

i'd lower first, but with H&R sport springs

 

I'd like to lower my car as well when I get it, may I ask why you suggest H&R and not others like Eibach? Tein?...etc?

 

H&R sport springs and tokico struts is the setup i got... and its a pretty good setup, if the roads are relatively good. coilovers are great since you can adjust them, but i've heard from people that sometimes they can be noisy still worth it to me IMO

i would tint, drop, then headers. but thats me, i rather get a lil more power then work on cosmetics.

 

i like the way the H&R's sit (the sports). some springs have rear sag, which i don't like

 

Which ones have a sag? I would like to get the look where both wheel arches are evenly spaced from the tire.

 

I am also iterested in which H&R sport springs you are using. I know many use the Accord kit.... and not the one designed for the CL. why would you recommend H&R Sport Springs over a coil over setup?

 

#2 - Comptech headers kick ass!

 

i like option number 1. then save money so when your rotors warp and acura doesn't cover it, you can upgrade them. rotora and axxis are way worth it.

 

u should go for the tein basics

 

#2 CT headers w/ either CT catback or Neuspeed catback... Then suspension

 

it depends, i didn't think i'd go performance so i went with springs, shocks and 19's first....then the greddy's...then the headers...so it's whether you want performance or looks....i have the #2 set up by the way...love it

 

Do the headers and springs. The exhaust can come later. Headers will be a bit pricy if you get the good ones. If you have low miles you can use the stock struts/shocks for now and just get springs for $150 or so.

 

besides the price, why these over the SS?

 

if you're not budgeting lots for lowering then go for tein basics.

my rule of thumb is never lower a car with aftermarket springs on stock shocks.. just doesn't seem right. DO IT RIGHT! springs + coilovers.

so yea.. cai, tint/lower, header/exhaust.
well thats the route i plan on taking..
