hey i am looking into getting a stock tC and i was wondering what the best upgrades would be for a reasonable price - here is what i've come up with so far

-Injen CAI
-Pirelli P Zero Nero tires
-exhaust
---------------------
$ ???.00

any suggestions? (please leavea a rough estimate of pricing)

 

List should be:

Springs ~ $150 + install
Sway Bars ~ $250 (f/r) + install
Injen Intake ~ $210

Tires... well, that's not going to be anything reasonable. You're looking at $500-$600+ for tires/mount/balance - even with a place like tirerack.

 

will the springs and sway bars show any increase in performance such as power (i know it would probably help in handling but i am also very intersted in pure power)

 

Not too sure about your choice of tires.

And it is also dependant on what you want to use your car for. Straight line or course?

If you are going for a course car. Upgrading your suspension & tires are going to help you more than I/H/E.

Straight line your I/H/E will help you more than a suspension

Also your budget.

I/H/E isn't very expensive and aspiration is one of the first things most people modify and is probably the cheapest route to go.

 

^^ Ditto. If you're going for power only... then disreguard my suggestions.

 

ok werdsauce - anyways i compiled a list (well not really, just two things that ill be able to afford) i just want some input to see if they are suitable and good enough to make the tc fast enough to compete with my friends cars

- I/H/E
-intake: injen CAI - 270.00
-header: DC sports-400.00
- exhaust: (pending till i receive more funds)
