Default A little Dilemma...

Hey guys, i found myself in a little dilemma. I have a little money to spend on another mod for my car. I'm between getting some TRD blue sways or a custom sub. What do you guys think i should do? I think i know what i want but a second opinion never hurts Thanks as always!

Go with the sways man. The stock sub is more than ample for the mean time, if you're talking about a subwoofer.

Default Dunno what to do...

So i am kinda regretting getting the Tein S techs like all you guys told me i would... So i have a couple options in front of me, and a opinion would help.

1) Remove Suspension and sell S techs, mount stock suspension.
2) Remove suspension sell stock and s techs.
3) Keep tein s techs and buy TRD blue sways ($500)
4) Remove suspension and by megan coilovers.

Im trying decide which to do, Will the S techs plus TRD sways give me the best performance compared to just the Megans? IDK... Any opinions?

EDIT: Also im in between TRD blue sways and daizen, i knows there controversy on which one is better but i want the least body roll and best performance, but the Daizens are cheaper. Should i got Daizens full stiffness or TRD's?

Get the TRD. If you don't get coils, get a spring shock combo. Do not get sways with stock suspension. You'd be putting a lot of pressure on the connections between the sways and your shocks. Spring / Shock + sways, or coils + sways.

I would search for used spring / shocks, or buy meagans since you're on a budget.

I just ordered some BC racing coil-overs and they are supposedly getting here on monday, along with the SRT intake that should get here during that same week....I thought we told you to wait a bit before getting anything, how about you wait some more and see if you really have an issue with your new drop or are you just attempting to do what most of the people on here are doing right away. Remember that it's not a race man enjoy it little by little.

Probably the best advice anyone has given me on here! Thanks alot. I need to slow down and start enjorying modding instead of being so eager. I'm just guna hold out until i can afford a nice set of coils and Sways!

At the start, I wanted to buy some L-Tuned springs.

Then I realized I should just wait. Now my plan is to buy Coilovers this summer.
