Looking to do some fairly minor upgrades initially and add more over time.
Looking to probably do suspension first, followed by exhaust, then probably wheels and tires.
For suspension, looking to reduce the squat, dive, and body roll and just sharpen up the handling a little without making the ride too harsh for daily driving. On my ND2 RF, I first tried Fox coilovers and hated them after a couple of weeks. Cornering was unreal, and squat and dive were non-existent, but they were downright dangerous on broken pavement as the tires completely lost traction. I ended up settling with Progress springs and sways on the stock Bilsteins and was pretty happy with that.
For the new car, I was thinking either the Roadstersport long travel coilovers or the Roadstersport Koni suspension package. Looks like the spring difference is basically 400/225 for the coilovers or 300/200 for the Koni setup. Probably not all that much difference in ride, but the long travel from the coilovers seems like a good idea. And the price is in the same ballpark. Anyone have some good advice on which way to go?
Then for exhaust, I'm looking for a little more sporty without blowing out my eardrums. I upgraded my WRX to full 3" exhaust and had it tuned, and it's painfully loud on start-up and full throttle. It's not bad cruising, but the drone gets annoying under load. I could live with it, but it doesn't pass the wife approval test.
I'll probably start with just the muffer, then likely add a midpipe down the road and then a header is probably 50/50 for an eventual mod. I was thinking the Race and SuperStreet mufflers may be too loud, and the SuperQ is probably perfect, unless I want to add a header eventually. So I wasn't sure if I should just start with the header version SuperQ so I don't have to upgrade twice. Thoughts?Thanks!
