ok so i have about 250-300 to spend on my car i already got myself an exhaust, but i have a list of things i want to do next but don't know which one i should do first. here's the list:
doc i short shifter
trd springs or which ones are good
hotchkis sways
injen cold air intake
if i save i could get a racing solution cf hood or rs1 kit
so what should i do first?
not a n00b i just can't make up my mind

 

springs, it will look 10x better.

 

Springs and sways are probably the best bang for the buck.

 

Springs and a rear sway bar.

As for which springs... hard to say. I'd start with these two threads though:

Buyer's Guide to see how much each spring should lower your car:

Lowered tC Pics Thread to see what those springs may look like:

As for the rear sway, I'd say TRD / H&R / Progress... they'd all be fine.

You don't really need the Hotchkis set unless you really want the adjustability or race/autocross regularly.

 

i thought springs should be the next thing thanks for the input

 

I'm going to vote the intake and the short throw. I'm not a huge fan of springs because
A.) I dont own any aftermarket springs
B.) I live in the country so its a lil bumpy out here.
C.) I have Doc-Is and its the most satisfying purchase I've made in the last year (other than buying my tC)

 

lol....

u don't like springs because u don't have any.... that seems like the most uninformed statement ever

 

oh yeah i also want to get a grille kit, i don't like the '08 bubble grill. oh and the bluebatmobile '08 side makers olverlay. does anyone know where i can find chrome turn signal bulbs i don't like the amber ones?

 

local auto store.

 

Oh hey, change out your headlight bulbs and also change out the little accent light in the headlight. I have silverstars or something in my headlights and then I got a blue accent bulb and the light coming from my lowbeams is so crisp looking. The blue really adds to the effect if you get the cool-blue sylvanias.

 

rs1 kit if you want to wait and save.

 

I vote short shifter, it makes driving a bit more fun.

 

I vote for the springs

 

ur guys input is really helpful i might half to go for the springs though and the sway bar i hate body roll my 94 celica had no body roll and taking corners was fun oh yeah but i still might get a shorter shifter.
