I have been working on my finances, and at the end of March, I'll be out of debt completely, except for my car. To celebrate, I plan to buy myself something nice for the car because I haven't done a mod in forever and am getting the itch. Just thought I'd post the options here to see what the results of a group are. I'm trying to decide between Exhaust (need to hear in person, but I'm leaning towards Borla or Bassani right now), A Quaife LSD (i own a base with no lsd), or the Hotchkis TVS kit. I plan to do them all eventually, but in your personal opinion, which would you choose first? Wheels were actually #1 on my list, but I will put them off for a while because I just bought new tires recently, and don't want to spend $4,000 for the wheels / tires I want.

Is this charge going on the credit card? If not it should, you have all that spending power now!

1. Most impact on the car = LDS
2. Hotchkis for looks
3. Exhaust looks and function

I vote LSD.

I voted for LSD. I want to get the same one for the same reasons.

Sway bars on the Z are one of the single largest performance improvements you can make without dropping thousands on FI.
The Hotchkis TVS kit would be my first choice.
LSD is only an improvement if you find your car spinning its tires too much.
Exhaust is mostly for looks and sound.

I was leaning toward the LSD too. Should drastically improve traction.

I joined way before I bought my car to learn about them. Actually bought this thing to get something slower that I wouldn't be as tempted to mod in the first place. It was more of a public opinion poll than it was going to actually make my decision, so I'm not sure what you're implying...

If your speaking in terms of improvement over its current state than for the money there high in performance gains. Not all mods have to add hp for them to be significant improvments.
oh but i voted exhaust because i want the bills to stop getting in the way of mine. Congrats on getting outa debt
