oh i see... so those folks getting like those mesh 19x10 + 19x11 (28lbs) wheel setups are going to REALLY feel it.

hahaha, thanks! i think im going to get a LSD in my dd in the way of getting a new car. will see later on.

the Fit's 'ok' but my younger kid is now finally in the range of safely sitting on booster seats so going to use my G35C once it gets warm as my dd and this fall probably sell both cars and get either a new STI hatch or MS3. not sure which. obviously my Z stays.

Thanks for the input so far everyone.

kenchan · 01-28-2011, 11:58 AM

so corona- are you going to do brakes instead of coilovers?

Jeffblue · 01-28-2011, 12:04 PM

i think coilovers would put the biggest smile on your face in terms of actual driving experience, as well as the drop looking nice.

Side note: I'll be moving to Germany in like 3 weeks so getting stuff before I leave would probably be cheaper than shipping it out.

If you are going to Germany would be a good idea to save for a "huptie", Winters are bad over there, plus they used a lot of salt.

On the other side you maybe can get some coilovers or lowering spring, camber kit, etc.

I think I might go with a lowering kit and brakes since I have been thinking about it for a while. But then again since it is my DD, maybe saving up for a "huptie" might be better. It's up in the air.

I'd go coils or lsd.

I think it you bother replacing the brakes, it would be smart to go straight to a high performance set. The akebono's are good, but probably not worth dropping $1400+ over the base brakes.

If you buy a Stillen exhaust this month you get Stillen Gen 3 Intakes for free.

STILLEN : Specials!

definitionxmk · 01-30-2011, 10:39 PM

Coils, camber kit, spacers.
