For suspension you can also do eibach front and rear sway bars.

For performance you can do dc sport header, lightweight crank pulley, ported lower runners, intake manifold swap from tl type s and type a throttle body or 09 tl intake manifold and custom throttle body adapter like I have. Those will make the biggest difference.

swap out the old for the new

and the headers would be the best bang for the buck

None of that stuff works. Coil overs depends on how much you want to drop the car. The intake manifold and throttle body from a type s is an easy swap. The lightweight crank pulley and headers will be the best for the money.

Do they have 1 flex pipe or two. If it's two than they are not as good. The school sport headers seem to be the better quality cheaper header.

Actually, an underdrive pulley is the best bang for the buck.

I got mine for $25 on Ebay and it works perfect. Noticed a difference in performance, and didn't notice any dim lights or anything losing electrical power.

Did the research and a lot of people already have one, even no named brands, and they work perfect even after the oh so many miles they've put on it.

Mine, is from Bomz Racing, but wasn't shown on the ebay posting.
