give me some advice here??

ok i have some money and dying to spend it, but so far i have decided on 3 things for now, but want a few more so i am asking u guys to help me decided on what.....
this is what i know for sure:
my tires
ingalls torque dampner
spec stage 3 clutch.

now i am still undecided on the others....they are:
either the weapon r header or zzperformance header
twin halo headlights
injector harness
lowering springs
progress rear sway bar

i think i am leaning towards the zz header and halo headlights......not sure...i think i have a pretty good lot of performance and would like to add to the appearance some more..


what else do they make to help get power to the ground....?



but if u guys have any other mods to throw at me hit me up.......thanks alot p e a c e

I would go with zzp header and lowering springs. I'm selling my 2 week old Eibach lowering pro-kit if you're interested, $175 plus shipping, then you'll have some extra cash to get a strut bar!

3,000 get everything then!!!


What lowering kit are you going with? All depends on your driving style, are you into drag or auto x canyon running? Unless you're into auto x, don't get the sway, go with the halo's. The lowering springs will help with the sway anyways. But any style driving get a strut bar.

I'd go with a set of H&R lowering springs, strut bar, ANY header, and the projectors. Whatever is left you can put to exterior parts.

sounds like a good plan, throw in a Short Shifter for good measure too!

All those mods, you should get the autometer a-pillar pods and some gauges. Keep a close eye on those temps and pressure. got a picture or your muffler?

Probably Turbo Tech Racing, everyone seems to love them, I will start doing business with them when my local shop stops beating their prices. Sorry TTR I hear you're a great company though! no disrespect.

18.5 is really good, I would go with the 3 pod set up, run a AEM Interceptor (althought there are a lot of problems) maybe just go with a Wideband, Boost PSI, and either EGT, or oil PSI. THe Wideband is only good you have some software to tune the car though, a nice HP Tuners or something. The EGT and Wideband are useless unless you have a tunable system. so in conclusion:

TTR GREAT!!!
3 pods
AEM Wideband or Interceptor
Boost PSI
Oil psi or EGT


Go with the Autometer Nexus Gauges if you can afford them (200+ each), they match our stock gauges pretty dam well. The Autometer Sport Compacts (55+ each) are the same color but don't match stylistically(sp). Or just the Autometer Cobalt Gauges cause it's a Cobalt, but they are blue.
