A lot of people say you should do a tune first, but I was gonna wait as well til I get most of the mods in place.

My mod list includes the:
Perrin inlet hose + CAI
Perrin overpipe
Don't know who I'm going with the UEL yet
Ark test pipe + Ark GRiP exhaust
and then the tune as well.

In a couple years is when I'll decide to upgrade the suspension components but in the meanwhile I'm getting the eibach sportline to get rid of that wheel gap.

For sure I'd look into the DTS and compare the grip. Personally I think the DTS is better. Read up on it. I'm guna stick it out with performance first then suspension.

I was going to say performance first, but then I had a change of heart tonight. You see, Suspension will cost more at one time, and if you have the money now, blow it. With bolt on power, you can add it part by part as you get the money, with the catback, tune, and header costing the most... but you can atleast split that up.

I was thinking the same thing..since i already started with power id stick with it and continue til im done with the basic bolt ons then suspension. when i do suspension id want to have everything done right meaning im not going to short myself budget wise to get the suspension done quick and the rims+wheels set i want is 3k hehe

You're not going to swap them with the narrower tires on the front.
Yeah i know im just going for looks for now then when warranty expires, get me a supercharger by then it should be cheaper. For now all stance and maybe a lil power add ons due to bolt ons and tune. what do you mean i wouldnt be able to rotate tires if i have 2 of the same size?

Because normally when you rotate tires, you move front to back or diagonally rear-left to front right and rear-right to front-left. When you have a different size tire on the back vs the front, you can't do that anymore.

Thats right i forgot about that..i was thinking of going with an aggressive set up to stance me up just right. 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 then 225/35 and 245/35 what do you recommend? I want to go for the flush look and for sure roll my fenders.

I debated between Rev Works or JDL. I ended up going with the RW. Love the quality and Matt is very helpful. They're made to order. $733 out the door. Installing in a few weeks.
