This will let you get almost the same hp gains that you would with either exhaust and get your car to handle better for only $1050. BTW you will notice the TVS suspension more than you will either or the exhaust systems.
You need to read my sig!

Talking Hks

I voted for the HKS because it is a well respected brand, it looks sick, and if you are going to go FI then you have an exhaust system that you know can handle the power.

lol my bad man...Most people get an exhaust system first so I just assumed you were kind of new to mods...didn't even look at your post count. Get some new Tein Basics (I think they are like $800) then get used sway bars or wait to get them and you will still have room left for the helmet. How much is the helmet you are going for anyways?

Its all good. LOL I really don't have the need for coilovers. I don't plan on adjusting my suspention that much. While they would be nice just think some springs and Konis in the future will be just fine.

Well the kit came in yesterday. Everything looks great. I'll post pics off all the parts when I get a chance. Hoping to install it Tuesday.
