So I'm new to the import car thing, but here's what I'm thinking. Let me know if I should add anything else. I have an Auto btw,


RRM Short Ram Intake.
RRM Downpipe
Piggy ECU
Tein Basic Damper Kit
RRM Axel Back Exaust.

I want to put a rear sway bar but I have the sub So yeah any Ideas?
No Idea what to do about the brakes, I was thinking about Brembos. <sp> but maybe thats overkill.

 

Your on the right path there man. I am goin for the same thing I have an 03 OZ I got the Intake getting the ECU and Axleback too. I also have the same problem with the sub box in the way but I can manage without a rear sway bar lol

 

yeah this is my start up set up. I want to put a turbo on as soon as it comes out for auto. So I think i need a new hood, and bumper. My uncle owns a car/paint shop so I gpt the hook up on the tools and the paint.

 

Your getting the bars mixed up, you can install a "rear sway bar" just not a rear strut bar because of the sub. Sway bar goes underneath the car.

Your list of mods is good but I would be cautious on the downpipe it will throw CEL
and also removes the cat. If you don't care about being street legal or emmisions then it doesn't matter. You should get the cold air or at least an intake that can be made into either, because heat soak really sucks.

 

Instead of the rear strut tower brace you can get a rear tie bar, which does close to the same thing but it bolts on under your car between the 2 control arms. I just installed one I got from Engineerboy and it made a huge difference! I think RRM also just came out with a rear tie bar, its a bit more expensive though.
