Which would you mod first?

Hello fellow G sedan people

I am wondering which mod you guys would so first and why?

I'm stuck between...

Eibach sway bars

or

Takeda cold air intake

Thanks!

Definitely sway bars. Results that you can actually feel. Improves the cars handling noticeably.

Have you done tires yet? If not, IMO, start with great tires, then the sways.

No point in upgrading tires when he most likely still has the stock wheels.

The answer depends on your priorities... noise vs. driving.

My advice is to choose the driving mod. But hey, you're going to do both anyway, so there really is no wrong decision.

Swaybars first for sure, then wheels and tires, then drop if you want.

I have IPL wheels fitted on yokohama s drives at the moment, and I'm already modestly dropped.

Everyone's consensus is on sways! I've been just debating while reading everyone else's review on past threads, and the same questions always comes up... "do I really need these on my daily driver?"

Thanks for the input guys.

The sways are something you will appreciate every time you make a sharp turn and feel the control of reduced body roll. You'll appreciate it on every single highway ramp, where you'll have more confidence at higher speeds. It's a driving mod.

Whereas the intake will just make noise. It's fun, but mostly a placebo. And it's a sound that's not nearly as rewarding as a proper exhaust.
