Default Suggestions for RC300 F Sport needed!

What's up everyone,

My name's Deno and I'm fairly new to the forums. I've been browsing on here for a while and looking at what others have done to their cars, however, I'm looking to get some stuff done to my car and need your guys' advice! I'm currently a proud owner of the RC300 F-Sport and honestly, I'm not too sure what to do with it. The only thing I've done to it so far is purchased a new exhaust. Also, I've gotten new wheels along with tints. Anything else you guys recommend? I'm currently located in Michigan.

Thanks in advance everyone, all the responses are highly appreciated!

Don't think there's much to do on the RC other than weight reduction, but its not like you're gonna strip the car anyway.

Personally, I already did a muffler delete, clear bra, vinyl gloss black roof, installed lowering springs, and tinted all the chrome gloss black. Looking to add an intake and possibly an ecu tune sometime this year. When someone finally makes it, I want to replace the hood with carbon fiber and the trunk with a duckbill carbon fiber one. Originally was looking to replace the front with the RC F bumper, but after closer inspection you need to change the bumper, hood, fenders and side skirts. Basically not worth it.

Lowering the front was an absolute must on my RC300 F-Sport, drove me nuts every time I walked up to it and saw its ridiculous raked stance that had a gap bigger than many crossovers on the road today. I'm looking into picking up RR Racing's ECU tune that gets that RC350 power back and then some (see the IS forum).

Agree with both of you, i'm thinking about purchasing the RSR superdown springs for the 350 AWD which I know can fit on the 300. Anynow, im just going to go for looks in the beginning and then i'll be doing performance when more parts start coming out!

What kind of springs do you have? I can agree that the front looks very ugly with the height that comes stock.
