List of wants

007MCoupe · 05-11-2012, 12:00 AM

So I'm trying to compile the most complete list I can at the moment of all the goodies I want when I get my car back. I've decided over the course of the next few years I'm going to try and focus on getting the most out of the handling...before I buy any coilovers ro anything. (plus they're really expensive) so in no particular order here's my list:

SS Brake lines
camber shim kit from turner
fcabs/rtabs
rsm
sway bars

Can you guys help complete my list? lol I'm dying here without my car so this probably the 7 or 8,000th list i've done.

other than going for BBKs and coilovers, is there anything else I can look into improving initially? (other than tires, i've already got those covered for now)

i think that coilovers would be much more beneficial than sway bars. Ive heard on these cars that the rear sway bar isnt of much use anyway and just adding a front sway bar is going to affect youre handling characteristics as far as understeer/oversteer. I have H&R coilovers and my handling is greatly improved I have virtually no body roll anymore. Also have you changed from the stock continental tires? Your tires are going to make the most noticeable difference in handling for the least amount of money

Also you might consider neoprene or poly engine and trans mounts. It is going to really help stabilize the drivetrain and also improves shifting. I think they are both very worth while mods overall

Yeah I'm trying to see what I can get out of it before I get a full new suspension. and yeah, like i said tires are taken care of for now. I've got Ventus V12 on now.

I've actually already got engine and tranny mounts. Those and CDV delete are first on my list when I get her back. After fluids change.

you could try poly sway bar bushings. I think thats what im going to do on mine instead of changing the sway bars. You could also do poly subframe bushings
