Mikey Jay Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Right, am stuck as to what to do first.Either way will have to save a bit, but should I lower the car 35mm (uprated shocks/springs), or save up for a bit longer and go for an uprated exhaust mani with custom exhaust system?(somewhere along the way will be getting some wind deflectors too hopefully)Your opinions please Quote Link to post Share on other sites

montanajr Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Sort the handling out first! Like i'm doing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gaz Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 lol @IdreesId say uprated mani and exhaust, so you can have a nice sound.But saying that mine was lowered first lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 The exhaust and mani would sound good, whereas lowering would look good Choices choices Regarding handling montanajr, have a front strut brace, but then again, it doesn't really do a lot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tintin_SR Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Lower the car!! the best way to do things is to do Brakes and handling first then concentrate on the power that was you will not be like â?? shit I cant stop in time for this cornerâ?¦.â? no mater how fast you are going you will notes the difference doing the brakes and handling 1st , if you want to DRIVE that is, as most of DRIVING is not all this â?? al race you up the by passâ? shit!! its on the bends! So a slow car can fuk faster ones if it can take corners faster and if the driver can as well of coerce But at the end of the day its your car bud and that means that it is up to you what you do to it Tintin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Enzo Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 hey man do you drive your car hard>? do you like driving?if so dont even touch the shox and springs first,sort yourself out with a rear anti roll bar and anti lift kt from toytuningits all easy lowering the COG with your springs but the two items above will improve your handling and on road poise alot more than springs and shox.do that first and i garantee you will not be disapointed. hopefully you will take my advice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dex Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 my seo has just got lowering springs with standard shocksit dont handle to bad my whiteline front sway bar arrived this morning so will be interested to see what differencethat will make Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 ul probably find that the front sway bar by itself will not do much to the handling, if its thicker than your current arb it will promote more understear mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest 180kph Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 lower it,better to be able to put it around a corner than ino it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo_time Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 i would say sort your handling then get some braided brake lines ( made a hell of a differnce on my car ) then power @ enzo think i may go with your idea mate cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Think may look into what you said Enzo, will have a word with some people (including Toby) @ Turbo time, already have braided brake lines, just haven't fitted them , will do when the brakes need doing.
