$1500 to spend
 
Hello,

Need help deciding between two options.

I have a budget of $1500. Would you spend it on:

A) ST coilovers($1100cad) + invidia catless front pipe($300)

or

B) Tomei UEL header($800cad) with openflash tablet ($600cad)

or

C) Enkei EKM3 ($900) + Eibach sportlines ($400)

Having a hard time deciding between all options. I'm also 50/50 between choosing form over function. My car is currently stock.

Thanks

Stupid adult advice: Have you paid for your car yet? If no, put it towards the loan.

Now for what everyone else (including myself) came here to say: I'd get the OpenFlash Tablet, and the Openflash Header. You can get them for a discounted price, at least in the US. That'll leave you more money afterwards for something else.

I would go with option 2 personally

I would go with option two as well. I currently have Tomei EL headers on my BRZ and I couldn't imagine having anything else.

$1500 of Ambarella stock will become $2000 or more within a month.

Just saying.

This was an option but price after everything would be over $2000. ($1300cad rims plus $900cad tires) Plus, not a fan of how it looks with stock suspension

Thanks for all the suggestions/opinions guys.

I haven't paid for my car yet, but that hasn't stopped me from modding my car. Currently waiting for my exhaust system to come in and installing that. I've already installed a lightweight crank pulley and a cold air intake.

While yes, I could have put that towards the loan, it's not like I'm not responsible about everything. As long as you know what you're doing and are responsible enough with your money, then do as you please. With that being said, I'd go for B.

A SA2015 helmet and 3 track days with insurance.

1500/40 = 37.5 autocross events. Driver mod is best mod.
