    Quick question! I am going to work at my cousins shop over the summer and will get paid $12 an hour(so he says)
    Do you think I should save up for"
    ksport coilovers, sway and strut bars, and the bar sets from UltraRacing then work on performance?
    OR
    start with Injen SRI or Custom make a CAI, get obx/forza header, and a 2.5" exhaust then work on suspension?

    PS. I know working on the performance wont give me much of a gain in acceleration or hp since our rollas arent made for performance, But to anyone who has a I/H/E setup, did you feel any difference when you step on the gas?

    Go with the ultra racing bars and coilovers first, our cars respond better to suspension than performance. I know my car is stock, but I've been in a few and it's more entertaining than a few mods like IHE

    A little late in response but i too agree with everyone else.Also when you get to performance, go with intake and exhaust but don't do header. I have yet to find a reliable header that lasts. Its just too much of a headache.
