cheap upgrades?

Hey i have a 07 2.4 sedan and i was wondering if anyone knows any fairly inexpensive ways to upgrade it other then a cold air intake or exhaust system?

Lowering springs can be had for under $200. Better handling + they'll make it look much better. Sturt bars are cheap too and look nice under the hood and help improve your handling. Also, you can always VHT nightshade your tailights/sidemarkers!

Fill your tranny mounts or just buy the prothane inserts.

Oh, and welcome to the site!

Is it stick or auto? If auto you can get a shiftplus shift improver. It helps your car shift more efficiently, if you're looking for better gear changes while you are really pounding on the gas. You can find one for around $50. I don't have one, but HackAbuse loves his, and I'm planing on getting one with my next paycheck haha

You could also get a strut bar or rear sway bar. Its amazing how much better they make your car feel around the corners.

I would go with Eibach; either Sportlines or the Prokit. I've got the Eibach Sportlines and I love the look. Check www.turbotechracing.com for the b&m. They are one of the most reputable vendors on the site.

I have the Eibach Sportlines, HAHN Racecraft Stage 2 Turbo Kit, Muffler Delete, Rims.

(I know Rims arnt a performance upgrade, but when these cars stock feel like they weigh 100lbs a piece..id say yes).


Back before the turbo kit, I had a Injen Cold air Intake. Was very nice. It let the car breath, and it got up to speed ALOT faster.

I forgot to add, might wanna try a HPTuners tune. (Can be had anywhere of $150+)
