About to pull the trigger on some mods! Advice?

RoadZter · 01-16-2012, 10:03 PM

Alright, so Scott over at Vivid has been helping me choose the best setup for my roadster (thanks Scott for your patience!). I am not tracking and it is a DD. I have been all over this forum and the Internet and this is my last step before pulling the trigger. Here's what I have cooking so far:

Fortune 500 coil overs w swift spring upgrade
Megan racing rear camber kit
Agency power CBE
HFCs (not sure re brand)

Does anyone here have any positive or negative experiences with any of the above? Thanks!

1. If you're not planning on tracking the car and it's going to be a DD, are coil overs really necessary? Honestly you could do just fine with a set of lowering springs and still have the same ride overall... Plus, Koni Yellow just came out with a set of aftermarket shocks to pair with the Swift Springs as well for a 'coil-over like' setup. Might be something to look into, here's the thread: ***KONI Sport Yellows are Finally Here! Pre-order NOW!***

2. Megan Racing for our cars is a

brand... You'll be better off getting the SPC rear camber arms and Toe Bolts. Lots of people have them and they hold up to all sorts of wear from tracking, to canyon running, so sitting parked.

3. What you want in your exhaust is subjective, and as you've heard in your thread, there are several options out there based on what you find as most important. Specifically with Agency Power, their exhaust is made in house so you know the quality is going to be high. They offer the burnt tips if that's the look you want. My only concerns are as I've heard it, it can be quite loud and a bit raspy. If that's what you want then you've got a sure fire winner.

4. With HFC's there are a few companies that make them. I'm not sure if Agency Power does, but if they do, you already know they'll obviously work with the AP exhaust. Fast Intentions makes them, Berk as well. As with all things Fast Intentions, the quality is superb and the customer service is excellent.

Hope that helps.

I would do the koni's too. And forget the pipes, just do a nice sounding catback or muffler.

well that's just me.

im with Chris. the best exhaust is the one you like the sound of the best. the way you have described you drive your car in other posts a few hp here or there wont matter. go for the sound.

I personally am not a big fan of the agency sound. Ark would be my fav sounding exhaust.

For camber arms, go SPC

if you wanted good HFC that arent as expensive.. get the z1 HFC's.
