    Good:
    Konis/eibachs
    euro headers
    rebuilt shifter
    amber tail lights
    New floor mats

    Not as good:
    avin avant 4
    blacked out grilles
    smoked tail lights (bought with car)
    cheap coilovers (probably the worst)
    Liqui-moly diff fluid. Not impressed

    Best thing to spend money on these days is maintenance to keep it happy. Btw, anyone want to change my rod bearings for me??? Lol

    Good idea, we can learn from this.

    Things I liked

    1. Autosolutions SSK
    2. Going to a square setup
    3. Zero toe all around
    4. Recaro SPG XLs
    5. Buying VCSL parts when you could

    Things I didn't like

    1. Installing the Autosolutions SSK
    2. Rotating wheels on the square setup
    3. Tramlining due to zero toe and a lot of neg camber
    4. Getting in and out of the Recaro SPG XLs
    5. Paying a premium for VCSL parts that still didn't fit that well

    Wow that feels good to let out. We should do this more.

    Great idea. I could spend a night talking about this, but in short:

    Loved:

    -Epic Tune (when I had the original airbox - more noticeable gain than headers)
    -AST 4100s
    -Recaro PPs/SPGs
    -SGT CSL Trunk
    -Stoptech ST40

    Not so much:

    -Karbonius CSL Airbox (too much hassle for little noise)
    -Going cat-less for a few years
    -Eagle Eye LED tails back in 2009 (now OEM LED)
    -Solid Aluminum Diff Bushings (unnecessary NVH)
    -SGT CSL Front Bumper

    5 mods I loved:
    -bluebus adapter - allowed me to play Bluetooth music without an aftermarket radio
    -RTD shifter - crisp shifts and a much better feel with no play
    -Gloss black grills - no more chrome
    -clutch stop - saved an inch of clutch pedal travel
    - Alcantara steering wheel rewrap (Coby wheel) - feels much better

    I haven’t disliked any mods so far. If anything, I regret not modding more.

    started a topic 5 Mods you loved / 5 Mods you didn't

    5 Mods you loved / 5 Mods you didn't

    As someone who hasn't modified my car anywhere to the level of some on this forum, I think it'd be insightful which modifications y'all personally enjoyed the most or found the most transformative. And also which mods you didn't like or found to be over-hyped. Could be something small like alcantara steering wheel, or big like 4.10 gears. Feel free to add explanations and also post the purpose of your car (daily vs. weekend vs track) because I'm sure that plays a role in whether you enjoyed or didn't enjoy solid driveline mounts XD

    Purpose: Daily/Weekend

    5 Mods I Loved:
    - Headers + Muffler
    - Avin Avant 4
    - E85 Flex Fuel Kit
    - Hotchkis Front Sway Bar
    - Poly RTAB's (thinking of upgrading to monoball soon)
    (Honorable mention: Convex Euro Side Mirror Glass)

    5 Mods I Didn't Care Much For:
    - Resonated section 1 (Missed the rasp)
    - Any level of window tint (prefer OE look)
    - Angel Eyes (liked them at first, now I'm on the fence)
    - Removing sound deadening under rear seats (only removed bc it was crumbling when fixing fuel pump)
    - Removing head shield over headers (resulted in a state ref after cop said "pop the hood")
Working...
