What should my first mod be? Im deciding from either a CAI or a drop. What do you guys think?

Are the noname springs on ebay good? For example Springs on EBAY

Or CAI?

Cold Air Intake EBAY

 

yea me too....i have around 400 dollars for a mod

im choosing between either used OBX headers for 150$, or should i go with something else....i also want to swap out the stock cd player

what are the cheapest but most effective springs cus i also wanna lower and make the ride a little more stiff over the bumps

 

i would stay away from those ghetto ebay intakes and springs, you get what you pay for

i heard that you can make the ghetto intake better if you add a KN filter to it..plus theres like 20-40 shipping

go to your local performance shop, establish a good relationship, and after a while you should be getting nice hookups on brand name parts and installs

 

H&R springs all the way

 

how much those run for? how much for installation?

 

Get decent springs. H&R are good price / good quality. You can also go with Tein springs ... I'm leaning towards Teins (not coilovers, just springs) for that much $$$ to spend on a mod.

CAI might sound good but actual performance gains is marginal.

 

headers and springs, imho, make the car look a little better, and go a little faster

 

Those ebay cai are fine. It's tubing & a filter. If your worried, buy a 3" k&n filter to use instead of the ebay one. I'd go with a cai first. Performance before looks. Just my

 

na get a naked chick airbrushed onto your hood. thats unique!

 

ya they are fine. but once you pay for shipping and the K&N filter the total cost will be nearly $100...so you wont save much if any from a name brand intake (used) I got my AEM V2 for $190 shipped...about half the new price and WAY better than the ebay styles

 

personally I would start with the suspension and brakes maybe intake (cai), the car is pretty fast already, I would make it handle and stop better before I make it go faster,

 

i would say get some nice springs (H&R sports, 1.75" front and 1.5" rear drop), and/or brake pads (EBC greenstuff, Hawk, endless, etc.)

not too expensive, looks great (the drop), and car will perform better.

 

ive just started modding my car heres my list

window tints-225
get a new deck plus throw in my 12s

after that my plan is

exhaust
get new rims this summer
springs



my first concern is looks and beat because i feel this car is pretty damn fast already (my car before this was a 140hp honda accord)

once i get my job this summer i will start throwing more money into performance like headers, pulleys, v2
