What's the biggest difference you can make on your car for the cheapest price?

Just curious... Angel Eyes? Springs?

They make your car LOOK lower, no? I consider a lower car a cosmetic change.

JunkStory · 08-25-2011, 09:52 PM

spacers + springs

stance is most important.

tibra1 · 08-25-2011, 09:53 PM

See this is the obvious problem w how some see suspension tuning..its meant for performance..not cosmetics..

If all you care about the cars stance then yea i guess thats a way of looking at it..

it's meant for both.. so you're killing two birds with one stone. Although if you really care about performance, then you would get new dampers tuned for the shorter springs, or else the ride sucks and performance worsen.

Its not meant for both..the cosmetic part is secondary to the performance advanatge of lower springs. You are def right about using lower springs w/ properly matched dampers..and ofcourse any drop should be modest..excessive dropping of the car will hurt suspension performance..

But as I said there are some that only care about stance..but this is not the true function of suspension tuning.

TINT

DesiRoc · 08-25-2011, 11:25 PM

Tint or Black Kidney Grills.

Ghoti · 08-25-2011, 11:28 PM

Angels eyes (e.g., GP Thunders) = $15
Springs and dampers incl install = $1000

Hard to answer your question. The more money you spend, the bigger diff you can make.

Check vendor websites (e.g., **********s, e-92 Lighting) under your car type to get your answer ... the answer is based on personal opinion.
