Hi guys. I'm looking at doing some mods to my car within the next month or two. I have three ways I could go. But there is price variances between the options. Or I might pick two options...
Let me know what you guys think..
Cheers
Jase

I vote rims...
But get some tuner rims that don't weigh as much as your current ones... oh and sticky rubber to match

Lighter wheels, do something about the Evo's weight issues. If your selling your car, why bother putting stuff on it in the first place? Unless you got it as a trade in or via lease you be running at a loss

What weight issues with the rims? The rims aren't exactly overweight? I'd go down the power route especially if you are planning on getting the TMR tune later on.

His current rims are not the stock Evo wheels, not were they the forged BBS

I say go the TMR springs and exhaust, i've got it done on mine now and it's awesome. You won't believe the difference the TMR springs alone make to the handling, it is a really good product. Been a few guys on EVO OZ who put the Eibach springs on first then changed to TMR, much better.

I could probably get most of it done.... dump pipe, high flow cat, and lowering springs, and I could possibly do the rims and tyres also...
I'll see how I go.Was even thinking of getting a tune once the top half of the exhaust gets finished. I need the car to be handling good after my operation.
Cheers Guys
