Looking to do some mods on the Type S in the near future and was looking for some answers/feedback to a few questions.

1) What upgrade would give me the best low end/torque boost?

2) Would moving to an 18” rim make a huge difference in handling or should I just go with an oversized tire on my stock rim?

3) If I’m looking for better handling would lowering the car and rear swaybar do the trick? If so, what springs will give me a firm comfortable ride?

TIA

 

I think searching would be your best bet. I have Tien S. Tech springs on stock shocks. also 19" wheels with 235/35/19 and 255/35/19 tires and my car has little no body roll. i love how it handles. As for the power/torque question I would search, you have alot of options depending on your budget. Good Luck

 

I would start here..the 3G Garage.

1) The best low-end/torque boost would be the RV6 V3 J-pipe.

2) 18" will not make a huge difference in handling, but it will weigh more of course.

3) RSB would help a lot (Progress 24) and A SPEC suspension (M/T) would help a lot in handling (at the same time not sacraficing ride quality)

 

Thanks guys, this is what I was looking for!
