Well, I'm definitely not the most modded car on here, I havent done much, but I'm on a mission to slowly get to where a lot of y'all are.

Like my sig. says, I have an '09 starfire pearl, MRR-Gt1 staggered 19" (brushed aluminum), blacked emblems and tails (sorry to those who dislike them, but i love them, when my car is clean at least )

So my options are exhaust, springs, coilovers (although i feel like i dont need that much of a drop), or a front lip. I could really use them all at once, but I'm being reasonable, so I cant decide what to tackle first. What does everyone feel is the most worthwhile investment for my stage of modding?

Also, if anyone has any of the previously stated ('09+ friendly) parts, let me know! I'm in the market!

 

coils shoulda been the FIRST mod

 

I would go for springs as a dailer driver. Most coil overs have a higher spring rate which will hurt your kidneys. Unless you plan to do some mad cornering or take it to autocross, you are better off with something a little more comfortable.

 

this is true if you slam it, but if you go mild drop you can run a softer setting, or you can run Tein CS.

 

what he said.

 

coils , drop your car , it will look sexy

 

I vote for springs - it's the biggest bang for the buck when it comes to appearance. It doesn't sound like you're hardcore into the modding (yet!), so I don't think you'd get much benefit out of the adjustable ride height & dampening.

 

Yeah, dont get me wrong, I would love to just put it on bags and get a full wald kit, but in the end, its a daily driver... i have to drive 500miles round trip to Louisiana and back about every 7 weeks, on top of my daily commute to and from work in Houston. I just hear how sooo many people regret buying springs because they switch to coils eventually. So i guess its just a matter of how much i want to spend on dropping it.

 

Skip the springs and go straight to coils. Don't be another victim of spring regret.

 

If you have the $$$, Coils, if not, Spring, then Lip, then Exhaust.

 

get coils, exhaust then lip =)

 

+1 same order

 

Is that some kind of saying? or you really meant that it will hurt your kidneys?

I swear I'm having kidney problems after having new wheels and springs. haha

 

So do you have to make frequent stops to pee?

 

No, I just have pain.
