1. Don't get the BC. I know it sounds like a good deal, but there not worth it. If you wanna get coils, save up for the JIC-Magic, you won't regret it.
2. Injen would be my first choice, but the JWT pop chargers would be a close 2nd.
3. Don't get berk either, definitely go for the FI.

JIC Magic makes sick coilovers, and hold their value better than the BC will. But yeah, they are quite a but more expensive. Plus, JIC Magic is JDM Tyte!

^^+1000. You should see the owner at work, the man is truly magic. The skills he has with suspension work is just amazing. I've never seen the owner of a company, as major as JIC-Magic, do the R&D and installation of a new product themselves like he does.

I'm trying to save up right now to get these coil-overs. These are one of the mods that I would be happy spending a lot for. Suspension is one thing that I definitley recommnend not budgeting.

I'm contemplating as well which one I should do first
the Berk HFC or
the Injen intake
or the Tanabe springs
I'm leaning towards the Berk's as the first mod
let me know maybe we can get a better deal somewhere since we would be purhasing two at the same time and we are both in L.A.

Definitely get BERK HFC'S. They look great and put down awesome gains for just a simple swap out part... Also Bryan there is really cool!!!!. I believe BBOYSTEELE put down 13 whp with just putting on the BERK HFC'S.. And has stock exhaust and intake setup as well..

So far,

Berk HFC: 5 votes
Injen: 3 votes
Other: 3 votes (Mostly JIC Coil Overs)
FI HFC: 3 votes
BC: 1 vote

So now, this may be a touchy subject for some, FI or Berk?

BTW any thoughts on the Y-pipe?
