Exhaust.

Having a louder exhaust changes the whole atmosphere and attitude of the driving experience. Even just cruising, you'll enjoy it a whole lot more. It's not every day of every minute you'll be pushing your car to the absolute limit at extreme g-forces. At least with an exhaust you can enjoy it all the time.

I always recommend sound > other mods. It's like watching a movie without a soundtrack....it's boring!!!

150 to paint the bumper from a friend of mine, not worried about the camber yet i bought my car with chopped tires on it so i wanna use them up without spending immediatley on camber kits just wondering if those ones that adjust camber on the top of the mounts are worth mentioning yea i will get camber kits in the winter when i put it away then i will get rims exhaust and some engine mods i wanna make it very clean slightley aggressive.

Serges where you located?

I just took mine off TODAY because I have other projects to fund... like the motor in my R6 that I just blew up, =( Now I have to source a new motor out for my track beast. Anyways, the reason why I ask where you are is because I 'm about to put up my Fujitsubo Legalis R exhaust w/ JIC y-pipe for ALOT less than 1200, you can walk away with a few hundo in the pocket still =)

meh, you are far from me anyways and shipping would be a hassle... but check out youtube there are a few people with legalis exhaust that are really happy. Louder than stock but carries a deep stock'ish rumble throughout the power range. Might be something to look at if that is the type of exhaust note you are looking for.

The exhaust is super clean, still shines like new, but has a driveway scratch on the resonator.. if you are OCD, that might eat you alive, haha.. the muffler doesn't have a scratch on it and the tips are nice and round.

They run about 1100 for the exhaust and about 400 for the y-pipe; both new. The y-pipe isn't necessary, but highly recommended. If you are working with 1200, it'll more than likely be one or the other.

IMO, I would buy suspension brand new and some things I'd buy used, like my exhaust, a plenum spacer, z-tube, etc. With shocks its just too difficult to know how much they've been used.

I have ichiba camber arms and haven't dealt with BCs... Let us know how you like them.
I want a stock/plush'ish ride without a squeak or noise from any corner. If the BCs will do that then I'm next for a set of those too.

+1 and I would look into the MD TDX exhaust. Or BC racing coilovers..

Go coils first, stock exhaust is already sexy. And yes you'll need the rear toe bolts.
