I need some input, how should I go about upgrading the RA "performance" wise with the 1G. Input would be nice, like i stated earler, im new to this car, im used to a 06 corolla lol..so yah totally diff. cars.
I was thinking BPV, exhaust, reflash? maybe im wrong....what do you guys think?

I would personally go ahead with the exhaust first, but that's just me.

i would go with exhaust, filter, injectors, manual boost controller and reflash then let the fun begin. all of this can be had if you go with some used parts for under 1g.

what springs are good for the RA in terms of performance..i mean lower is nice...but i had my corolla on Tein S-techs and the ride was horrible but it looked good. I dont really wanna Ef'up the RA Suspension since its already good. atleast it is to me.

if i get rims, would yall recommend tires? or are the factory ones good enuff.

A BPV is a waste unless you just want the sound. An exhaust is good as long as you get a tune as well. A good exhaust with a tune should cost about 1000$. An intake is probably a waste like the BPV. Sway bars are a good bet once they start appearing. Springs are usually a waste as well unless you can match them with good struts.

I'd get catback exhaust first seeing as the evo x one fits and there are plenty of choices .. other than that I'd wait cause there's nothing out for the RA suspension, intake etc.. just wait and there will new products and more choices to choose from sooner or later..

Catback doesn't do much in terms of power.
