Personally, most people on this forum have the mod bug/disease. We literally have no choice but to change something for some reason. This is not always rational and it’s fine, as it’s your car and money.
But you can learn something from this 50 year old who is now in the process of undoing multiple mods on my 04 WRX wagon. When I was 30 I thought I was a rally racer, so I modded the wagon as a rally battle wagon. No rallying ever occurred BTW. Well now at 50 I cannot stand the stiff suspension and god awful urethane bushings that could shake loose a filling over railroad tracks. Also I can feel every one of those little black crack filling lines on the highway. Going back to comfort for this car.
Lesson learned is you can go to far. Don’t get me wrong the car handled about as good as a wagon econobox with a turbo could, but it can wear on you when you are just driving from a to b. You live and learn, I don’t truly regret it, other than the expense. I am much smarter about my mods now. Also, I do one mod at a time so I can evaluate with the butt dyno.
Cosmetic mods or mods to improve a deficiency in a car for autoxor tracking are perfectly fine. Just be smart about them and as the cost rises, think about that opportunity cost.
