Default I Need Your Help

I am at a cross road right now, I made it my goal to do one big thing this year as money and time allows. However, I cannot make up my mind about what I should do out of the following options:


-Set of wheels and tires (Forgestar F14, Enkei RPF1, RE-11 tires)

-Akebono sport package brakes

-Cat-back exhaust


I feel like my base tires are the biggest limiting factors of my setup at this point since I lose grip much more quickly that I think I should and am not getting the full benefits of my suspension mods. But then again, I don't want to have to worry about the base brakes on canyon runs since fade is always at the back of my mind and hurts confidence especially on downhill sections.


So what would you choose out of those options?

Wow - that's a tough call! In my build, I went with CBE, then wheels/tires, and brakes last. If looks play into your decision, I would have to say wheels/tires first. If it's strictly performance - you'll probably feel the exhaust gains most compared to the other mods. No matter what, you'll be happy...so don't sweat it too much. Just enjoy!!

all depends on your budget man.
The brakes can run you about 1k and for another 300 you can have it powder coated any color you want and you should up grade your rotors at the same time and maybe your brake lines.

Wheels and tires. Makes more of an appearance and will look good with your drop. You may want to get an alignment and camber arms to help out the tires.

Exhaust not to sure about. I know you have a y pipe already and HFC. You can always go with the AAM tips and call it a day. Or sell your y pipe and get a full catback.
