enjetek

rosedaleny806

intake and htechs r good id get another exhaust thought HKS hipower

ValenciaS

so the turbo eliminates the intake ?

indyTC

x2 on HKS and no intake if going turbo...

What turbo you planning on gettin ?

ValenciaS

so how about the Ark n2 exhaust and the H- techs ???

rosedaleny806

r u going turbo? then no intake but if ur staying NA then intake is good.

i like the ARKn2 but sum people dont its jus to each his own if ur going turbo try and get sumthing thats 2.5" or bigger HKS is good for an axleback but the ARK is a full exhaust so its good also

jackotamo

get a catback and s-techs. A CAI cant be used by the turbo because the piping would not match.

ValenciaS

anyone know where i can get free shipping on the h techs or the ark n2 exhaust ?

^^ dont look at free shipping. Sometimes they say you get free shipping but they jack the price up so that even if you have to pay for shipping. it still might come out cheaper on another site. I think Sparks carries H-Techs? maybe? idk but I personally would go with a more intense drop, that's just me tho. For the exhaust I would just get it of someone on the forums. I got my HKS from someone on here for 260 or 280 I think. And it was in damn near perfect condition.

ValenciaS

about the drop , i want a safe drop not to low , the s techs are a bit of tuck almost , i plan on upgrading to 18" rims also the h techs is a clean drop i think

a_german_named_hans

^^ yea I agree, I personally don't like the s-tech drop that much. Have you looked at Hotchkis? That's what I got and love it. You might have seen this already but check out this list:

I'm thinkin about changing my Hotchkis for Tanabe DF210( btw anyone know where i can buy the Tanabes?) once the hotchkis springs rust through, although that hasn't happened yet and I've had them for about a year and a half now. I'm not trying to get you to switch just wanna show you other options. If you're feelin H-Techs thats cool.

jackotamo

I am on stechs and I do not tuck

ValenciaS

anyone else here on s techs ? about the Hotchkis i heard nothing but good everyone loves the drop i think its the same drop as the h techs or a bit lower ?

d0ugch0i

my friend is sitting on s-techs and i think it looks awesome and not tucked at all. im personally sitting on TRD's and its not too low and not too high and handles great.

a_german_named_hans

in the front hotchkis is a little taller then H-tech but its lower in the back. the car looks basically level. I love it. From pictures it looks like s-techs sit lower in the back then in the front, i don't like that. might just be pictures tho.

i had s techs in my last car.. drop was ok but now i learned my lesson and bought tein basic coilovers.. its up to you if you wanna get the springs or coilvers.. drop the rest of the $ in suspension tho..

a nice combo would be the sticking with tein springs and these:

for the exhaust.. idk.. i love dezod.. its what i got.. im thinking about doing turbo after im done with school and paying the car off.. when i do that.. im switching to this exhaust

or get a 3"

beedee

if you are certain you are getting 18's, then get the h-techs, if not, then get s-techs. im very happy with my s-tech drop.

as the others have said, don't waste money on a cai if you will be going turbo soon. i suggest researching the turbo world as much as you can, based off of your question about getting a cai and going turbo soon, it doesn't sound like you've done much research yet.

i would wait on an exhaust until you get your turbo kit.

ValenciaS

yeah i have to do more research on turbo kits and stuff im kinda new to the force induction part but i understand how it works. i just want to start building my car up for turbo
