i dpont see why you cant do both...lsd ?...your not really gonna be putting down that much extra power...plus whats the use to add all thats extra power on shetty tires?

1)downpipe, exhaust(with a muffler since most of them are sold like that), and piggy
3) rims and tires to sub for the cost of the lsd...

i would think that you should drive your car around a little first, to see what YOU thinks needs to get done.. maybe you will like it the way it is

i just don't understand why people mod cars by following others advice.. they don't drive your car, you do..

i don't think you need the LSD yet..

You can get the whole intake/exaust/ecu packages from RRM for a discount I believe. Everything is under 1 grand. Thats the first thing I'd do. The second thing i'd do is Rear sway bar. Everybody says that helps alot with cornering. I'm all about cosmetics, but if you don't have the power to back it up, what good is it. Make your car faster first and then do the bodykit and wheels later when you have the money. Because then when people try to race you or check your car out, you can show them that you've already had performance on your mind. Think street cred.

choice

As with any stock car, i'd go with suspension and tires as the first upgrade. then power. I dont dig flashy mods, they attract cops & thieves.

performance & looks = upgrade the Rims and tires

After all, performance isn't necessarily all engine!

i agree, do performance, body kits are nice, but do attract the cops.

the cops are not to bad here i hardly ever see compacts pulled over, i have the cai on the car already, i think i may go with the downpipe,exhaust,piggy, if there is money left rims and tires. i've had my car since august and now i've got 18,000 miles so i have been driving around alot so i know what i want done i'm just starting from this point. the best part about all of this there is not one ralliart that i've seen in this area since i've bought my car there are about 3or 4 oz's but that's it. i live near atlantic city
