BONE stock 2010 3 door.

I dont want to do any engine work for the sake of generating more horsepower. My goal is to make a super tight cornering machine, project Sewing Machine. College student here (poorfag) so anything i want, ill have to save up for it.

Im doing my own research but i did want to offer a chance for the forums to throw in their two cents. A recommendation of part/improvement/price would be helpful so that i can start generating a spreadsheet of high to low priority upgrades.

Currently, after browsing around its come to my attention that i can afford a front and rear sway bar on my bone stock. Im not amazingly concerned with asthetics as long as i dont look like an annoying ass ricer (ive got nothing against FUNCTIONAL spoilers though).

Ill be checking this thread for a few weeks till i finalize and dedicate to my list. My first purchace will be tomorrow though.

A torque wrench (already got a full toolbox).

-335

Edit: I cant void my warranty.

Springs, struts and wheels. I can make a right turn pushing 50 without touching the breaks and no tire squealing.

What part of Texas?

Same, but I don't have the springs or struts yet. It is amazing what the right set of wheels and tires will do for this car, and since I have an auto, I don't like slowing down when I don't have to.

50 MPH corners are not a problem, but one day I'll put a rear strut on Sprocket just to make it even better. I doubt I'll lower as with the offset I am running I am worried about rubbing.

Oh, and I'll second the question...where in the great state of Texas are ya??

Cheers! M2

+1 on the wheels and tires. I could tell a HUGE difference in the cornering of my car with a set of 16" wheels with kuhmo rubber on em.

Ditto what ^^^^ he said. My first was the rear sway bar.

I can take a righty and 50 w/o brakes or squealing too. Stock tires. Stock struts. What I DO have is lowering springs, and every bar GT-Spec makes) I'm excited to see how much better it gets with sways/wheels&tyres/tokicos.

I also recommend an SSK for drive-ability if you're going to be racing, but it's not essential. Go with the TWM unit...forgo the NST junk. As far as bushings and cage mounts, either TWM or NST, it makes no difference.

What 'the barber' said! That'll put a smile on your face, and terrorize any passengers.
