OK guys what you think, I parted out my speed 3 before I went to the dealer and made $1400. this is all I will spend on my X Coupe, Where do you think it should go,,

 

I realize you posted this in the Engine, Drivetrain & Forced-Induction section fo the forum. Does that mean that my suggestion of sway bars and upgraded tires will not be taken into consideration?

 

are you looking for a bit of speed? bit of handling?

You could get bc coilovers and sawys bars for that money
or catback
or an intake and hfc/test pipes

 

catback and drop it. Try Invidia gemini for a catback. Great price, sound, and quality.

 

if you want aesthetics, hit up 180 customs.. they do a bunch of custom headlight/taillight/interior work.

 

Send it to me and I'll make great use of it

 

Being that you have an X coupe, I will assume you bought it for some snow/rain usage living in MA...

I would say get some decent priced coilovers (Megan, BC, Tanabe) and spend the rest on sway bars (Stillen or Hitchkis).. But if you want to keep the suspension stock, then buy sway bars and and exhaust (catback like Invidia or axelback like Tanabe)

But it really depends on what you are trying to get out your car...

 

Why does everyone insist on getting an exhaust? You honestly can say you don't like the stock note? Some exhausts sound like fart cannons.

 

If you have an X, there is only one set of coilovers (BC), and sway bars (Hotchkis) available for you. Also, most of the exhausts listed will not work, have not been tested, or will take some minor tweaks. Just be careful.

If you want handling, I think the BC coilovers, brake lines, brakes pads, and fluid would be a good way to go. Maybe sway bars, springs, and the brake work.

If you want performance, you can go with an exhaust, and intake or a tune from UpRev.

If you want cosmetics, go with a lip/diffuser and maybe some paint work.

I think on an otherwise stock car you get the most out of the suspension and brake mods. Obviously, if you want to stand out a little more, the cosmetic things may be the way to go.

 

Man ok guys, some have like 5 ways to go, LOL, I was think about rear duffuser, rear sports lip( Both CF). An intake exhasut? I really would not mind dropping it but wont the ride change= bad?? The reason I went back was I cant stand the stiff ride of my speed3.. I wish I could get a tune, No one where I live does Uprev--DO they? Is the tune worth it with the stock stuff ot should I go intake,Exhaust, tune.

 

^ what.... check out g35 and myg37 northeast section... i have a thread up looking for ppl to do the uprev tune so we can have a group rate discount

 

I'd wait till you get some mods before a tune. I'm not a spring guy but I know a few don't really change ride quality. And the tanabe suspec coilovers are supposed to be te closest oem ride coilovers

 

Thanx guys, Will wait for the tune, Still poking around the FS section.

 

Money in the bank is worth more than adding things to your car.

If nothing else I'd hold onto it and save up and get a mod that will REALLY make the car go... GTM supercharger. They are supposed to be working on a awd compatible version. Imagine having a 400+ awd g37! THAT would be cool.

 

Thats a really good point but 5+k is a ways away, by the time I save that I proballt wont have the car,, LOL
