Which would you do first

I'm gonna start modding this week and can't make up my mind between springs or the comptech icebox. Which would you do first?

I don't wanna go too low. I'm looking at either the Eibach Pro-Kit or Tein H-tech springs.

just because you have coilovers dont mean you have to lower them all the way down.

I see you did get the TL-S.

Springs (and struts) would be nice.

Tint too.

I will definately drop it , it's just trying to find someone to do it a reasonable price and not take 6 hrs to do it. My boy will do it for $150 but I have to leave him the car all day and everywhere else charges like $250-$300 for the install.

i would get the h&r oe springs for a little better look

tint in jersey sucks tickets add up

intake really isn't necessary, just remove the resonator


idk what else your really looking for.

clearing headlights makes a hell of a difference takes a few hours to do.

thats all i have on the top of my head.

IMO it's better to be all go and no show than all show and no go.
