Which mod to do first?

remarqable23 · 08-07-2007, 11:20 PM

I'm debating between 2 mods, HFP suspensions or front and rear lip. Which would should I do first?

You're comparing apples to oranges. What do you want, a better suspension setup or for your car to look better? Personally, I'd go with the front and rear lip. The car handles moderately well from the factory and there's a lot of room for adjustment, however I think having that addition to your appearance will always be there, whereas I wouldn't consider a suspension unless I were to take full advantage of it.

Well, I will end up with both, needed some opinion on which will give the car a better look at the moment while I save up for the other.

I think the kit will make it look better than a 0.5 inch drop. If you're going for looks, then the HFP suspension is the wrong way to go. Maybe you can look at the Eibach Sportline springs that will drop the car ~2".

Here is some pictures of my car along with my current mods. As you will see, I have both the HFP front/rear lips and the HFP sport suspension. Hope this will help. Finally some pictures...
