Suspension should always be the first thing to get upgraded in my book. Forget wheels, tail lights, exhaust, etc. Better suspension makes the car look better, and handle better, which makes it faster in curves. Best mod money can buy hands down.

I've heard a lot of people say that just a rear sway bar alone really helped the handling characteristics. For $150 it's worth looking into, even if you have stock suspension.

I wouldnt be able to make it to my driveway if I lowered... my road is beyond potholes, it's heaving more daily

I scrape on really steep incline/decline like driveways and certain parking lot entrances. No problem going over speed bumps or normal road bumps dips. Need to be somewhat cautious but I think even a 2.5 drop is still quite safe.

Sounds like you should have purchased a jeep.

I had an exploder, no more domestics for me thanks. My community keeps promosing to fill the holes... a garbage truck sank into the road last week and again this week, it's like it's collapsing

I'd have to agree, if you have a limited amount of cash, and are looking for a good mod, that gives your car some character, there you go.

Sabretooth · 05-18-2007, 05:16 AM

First thing I did was window tint, $120 there.... then I threw Intake,Springs, and Strut Bar... Big changes...

Next month is Rims/Tires

Just gotta take it one step at a time

Vervepipes · 05-18-2007, 11:22 PM

Not just character, it also keeps the interior much cooler and easier on the eyes if the sun is to your side. Also makes things in the car less visible, many advantages to tint.... well, mostly just those but you know lol

Jerkratt · 05-19-2007, 01:23 PM

i did alittle interior modding... changed dome and truck lights to blue LED's and bought seat covers steering wheel cover and shift knob.... cheap stuff from pep boys. but it gives it a little style.. IMHO im getting intake and black alizza lights soon but that comes with time and money lol

Save for coilovers! That way you can set the height to what you need. You dont have to sacrifice ride height for handling.

seanele · 06-16-2007, 04:47 AM

spring...for better handling

$150 only?

One of this two things I will do.
1) Get a fleabay fog.
2) PayPal me the $150 and I will teach you how to collect $150 from others by using PayPal.

crashergs · 08-28-2007, 09:35 PM

150.00 LOLZ

no wonder you have a yaris :) use that for your car payment

redduck · 08-29-2007, 11:21 AM

the problem with you buying springs would be, you need to have them installed. so you spent all your money on springs, now you need to save to have them installed, and installation will probably be more than the part.
