IN US$

I spent approx $5.5K on Coilover/Swaybar/Endlinks/TB Exhaust/SPT Intake/SS Brakelines/EM

Maybe another $1-2K on installations, EM Tuning & corner balance

I think I am kind of old for that kind of stuffs too, but then I started late...!  Not that I have rich parents to sponsor me doing mod or my 1st car!  Yet, the good thing is I look forward driving my car everyday, which I think is an important part, since we all spend so much time commute to work everyday.  So far, my daily route isn't too bad, very little traffic, some up/down hills, twisty, and a small part of local hwy to floor =P

PS: I try stick with 10mph+ above speed-limit, but would go faster when cornering..but I wonder when I will loss my fire....!!

Hi Shutterbug,

I am sure you would be fine with the right mod.

My exp. is that many people mod. their suspension with cheap lowering springs only , or at most put in some cheap struts.  That's just wrong...!

I invest lots of my time finding the correct suspensions mod. for my STi cuz I know I gonna have a baby on board.  Well...the STi stock suspension actually have pretty harsh ride..!  The coilover I ended up with actually provide better ride quality, and better handling.  It's firm, but not harsh..!

I kind of agree about buying a better car to start is smarter, but I think there is more to it.  It's more important to buy the correct car for the job.

Many of my friends actually drive Lexus, you can tell they have very little interest about driving.  For them, they just want luxery inside, ride quality, reliability to get them from point A to point B.

Traum + Others, wanna share you mod experience.?

Thank you traum for the details!  As for the NC, do they sell adjustable sway bar for the rear, so that you can dial in the right amount to keep the car nature..!

Re: Chobit
如果小弟有水既話，我會裡裡外外都追求 OEM+ 呢個 modding philosophy。因為始終都係街車，所以我唔會想架車個樣太辣、太惹火。至於副偈同操控方面，第一樣我 ...
