like everyone said nathan, sways bars are night and day on the g for handling. gt spec braces are really only noticeable on the track. grounding kits im still back and forth on but cant really hurt especially for 5at. stainless steel lines are good but you should do everything - pads, rotors and fluids as well. hope that helps.

I wish GT Spec would have finished the mid brace for the sedan... that would be worth it!

Been waiting for you to chime in on this one...

Probably won't ever go FI, or if I do, will be 2 years or so. I have enough stuff going on right now with just buying a house and a baby in 2 months to worry about that.

So, with that said... you got to number them...

#1) THE GROUNDING WIRES *biggest difference of all mods so far*
#2) Sway Bars
#3) Brake Lines
#4) HKS axle back exhaust
#5) UR Pulleys (underdrive if you dont have a big stereo)
#6) High Flow Cats
#7) Headers
#8) UTEC / COBBS engine management system


This is the exact route I'd go if i were you, and planned on staying N/A

(its the route i'm on)

That's GREAT info... thanks a lot

However, most of my research, unless someone can point me to a thread or other info, shows that the HKS muffler really only adds sound/noise and it doesn't do much for flow/performance. But I guess if you factor in the high flow cats and headers, it might do the trick

surprising since some say they can't tell any differene with them on, and others say there not a very noticable difference but you beleived they were more of an improvement than headers, and HFC's ? What did you notice with grounding wires ?? I'm understanding the main improovement seems to be better shifts on the 5AT's ?

not doubting just curious

Better, faster throttle response, smooth idle, smoother acceleration, better shifts, steady idle. You can read all about it here. I read EVERY post and came to the conclusion that this is something I want and will notice...

It's the only real horsepower mod I have. Best bang for your buck and yes, you can tell a difference. Search around and you'll hear the same from everyone.

then how do you know the difference you felt was from the ground wires and not the intake?...

Edit: never mind... I thought you were refering to ground wires previously...
