springs if coilovers are out of your price range!

 

intake .

 

which springs you guys recommend?? for comfort and everyday driving...

 

tanabe/eibach/t1r/progress....i've heard good things about all of them. i'm on eibach pros and i love them.

 

springs first, skunk2 FTW!

 

always always always suspension before engine.

 

that's what i have, and after 6k miles, still love them

 

I would go with springs. I have skunk2's and i love them. No complaints so far. Nice racked stance and they dont drop the front too much so its still able to be a dd.

 

haha ive come to the conclusion that most of the intakes on the market do nothing personally for ME cuz i dont rev to high ever. but if your a low rever consider the supa suka it gets torque gains in the low rpms or some other kind of chamber intake everything else is like 5 hp at 6k rpms so in closing SPRINGS! FTW!

 

i'm rollin' on Tanabes GF210s. but just search through the Suspension threads to find the springs that best fit you!

 

Get springs. Forget the intake, it'll just kill ur MPG anyway.

 

Intake. The stock suspension and handling are already one of the strongest points of the car and not in immediate need of a workover. You can't say the same for the stock engine power and response, so put you money to better use improving the weakest part of the equation. (Or save up extra and fix both at once! )

 

you bring up a good point chibuki.

it's true the handling is already pretty decent stock...
and i would like a little extra pull outta the tiny 1.5L.

now i just got more confused as to what i should do. hahaha.

 

springs. a intake will add what? 2hp lol

With springs you will feel a drastic difference.

 

^--- Exactly. Get the springs dude. The 4x4 look is horrid and so is body-roll.

 

hurray for springs!

soon..soon.

 

Did you ever figure out what springs your gonna buy? Keep an eye on the thread i linked. They are doing a spring meet/test hopefully tomorrow. Maybe that will help you decide.

i'm looking at some skunk2's

 

haha that's the complete opposite of the way i think but both make perfect sense to me.

the way i see it is to try improve on the car's strengths (suspension/handling) by first changing its springs instead of dilly-dallying with its weaknesses. and it's a plus that springs give the car a more aggressive appearance in the process.

 

Haha. I did the same thing. Got springs and tweaked the suspension first and then went to an intake and exhaust after. Springs give the car such a better stance and are way more noticable then an intake imo. Springs all the way. Good luck with the skunk2's. I love mine.
