Mod Dilemma

Ok, so from what I have seen on the forum, the ebay cashback offer is back up to 30% or so. I'd like to get either the a-spec lip kit, rims, or suspension, but am sort of torn between the three (getting only one right now is all I can afford/is what I should limit myself to for now). I'm leaning towards the lip kit right now, then rims, then suspension for my SSM 6mt. I already have tl-s tails/side markers and tint. What should be next?


Thanks for the input.

my vote is A-Spec kit.. makes the most difference IMO.. unless you need tires right now I'd put the wheels off until you need new tires and also the suspension upgrades since they are all tied together you'll at least save money on alignments and other adjustments. my .2$

so A-Spec then wheels then drop.. just like you said..

so thats 2-0-1 so far in favor of the lip kit.

I feel like the car would look funny if I lowered it without getting rims with a larger offset or at least spacers for the stock rims. So I think rims and suspension are tied together. Rims should come first I think. Someone with pics prove me wrong though.

it depends what you want... two are for looks, the other is performance with some visual change. i say either the lip or suspension first, and save the rims till last. i know most people want their car to look different, but the driving characteristics are much improved with the suspension over any of the other two mods. the lip kit does look great, but a drop on any rims would also look good, but would also make your ride perform alot better...

Suspension first gets my vote. Take a look at Tein and H&R coilover kits.

aspec lip kit first - i agree with the majority on this one: makes the most difference.

i went aspec kit, then suspension, THEN wheels...and then exhaust some where in between...............along with all the other "junk" that wiped out my freaking wallet -_-
