Default How should i spend my money: Tires or HU

I need some advice. Ive been holding this money for like a month now.

My choices:

Kenwood eXcelon DNX8120 HU. This things really... really cool.

Falken FK452 tiress - This would allow me to put on my rota p45rs that have been sitting in my garage for like 3 months lol.
I can also get like COBB stage 2 suspension with the tires.

Or... New longboards mine are getting old. Anyone longboard on here?


wtf should i do?

I have the Vredestein Ultra Trac Sessenta tires and I love the especially in the rain. How do you like yours? Sorry OP im not trying to jack your thread but I would go with tires and suspension. Headunits get outdated too quickly.

suspension all the way....
head unit gets you radio, cd, and maybe satellites and gps and other entertainments...
but, suspension gives you bone crushing corner G's , easy access in and out of the car and everyday, you'll have a smile when you see a turn... now that is an entertainment!!!

I have to go pick up a set of 255/30/20 F and 295/25/21 R Falcon 452 tomorrow!

Go with the tires, brakes and suspension...if you cant go that fast...try not to slow down in corners....

Looks like tein stechs it is. Whats a good place to get all of this installed?
I know the guys at IAG performance do it but they do mostly subarus. Where should i take my car for installations?

and also, do i need anything else with the drop besides springs?

Definately tires and suspension. My HU was a great HU 2 years ago. Now its about as outdated as they come. Plus, you'll enjoy suspension much more than anythign else. I suggest them greatly!
