full exhaust or Rims and tires

[meinp5]

I would do rims and tires...then save for a little while and get a nice set of coilovers.

 

[~JoJo~]

rim/tire +muffler

 

[FinalResort]

lol uh how about headers rims and coil overs

 

[FinalResort]

and what type of coil overs?? k sports? or Teins? or somthing else??

 

[KrayzieFox]

No coilovers .. not unless you have money to upgrade your struts too. If you can do both, then go for it but I would recommend some progressive rate springs with about a 1.5" - 2.0" drop instead. It will keep the ride much softer and still improve handling/looks.

i came in strait one day in to the drive way and i think i scraped idk..

If you're gonna drop it you gotta learn how to drive a little better. I know you're 15 and just started drivin, but a good thing to get used to is to take inclines at an angle. Turn steering only half way as you're coming up to the incline, once your first wheel is on the bump turn your steering another half and slowly accelerate up the incline. You shouldn't have any problems unless the incline literally looks like this " / "

 

[FinalResort]

yeah i never take it strait in anymore b/c i do not want anymore scraches then i already have.. lol

 

[importcrazy]

its all about the angle you would be amazed at the hieght of the things you can make it over if you come at it at the correct angle...... ohhh and wheels and tires fo sho home slice. white 5 spokes would look nice on the red P5.

 

[FinalResort]

yeah i wish the 5zigen f01rcs came in white im looking for light weight and good looking and under like 1k

yeah...no. he is talking full coil overs, pillow mounts all that jazz. you are talking coil over sleeve. the full coil over is EVERYTHING, from the mount to the hub. excellent angle of attack summation tho if you want good light rims, check out rotas, they make an fnoric replica, also check out exels, etc. they are out there

I thought he meant coil over sleeves though .. so I must've missed somethin. If you can get the full kit with struts and all then great, but no sleeves.

 

[Salmon_Rob]

k sports and teins are the full deal

 

[FinalResort]

yeah thats what i was talking about the full deal and im gonna go look at those rims you said liquid

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

rims & tires....you'll get more benefits from those than you would a full exhaust on your NA P5...

 

[FinalResort]

okay so on my rims should i bump up to 17 or stay 16 b/c i just would rather stay 16s

Stay 16s if you like them Some wheels look too small as 16s, others (like the stock wheels) look just fine

how about those are 17s but look very nice

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

if you're spending the $, get 17's, they will look better

 

[FinalResort]

yeah and those 17s weigh 13 pounds LOL

 

[Kansei]

wow that's light! I think the stock 16s are like 16 pounds.

My next set of wheels will be 16's. The 17s just ride to harsh for me.
