Im in the market for a new mod for the spring

I've already done the suspension and wheels.

this are my options which will get done sooner or later but just want to know which I should do next

1) Eibach sways for my Kleemann suspension, dont know if its necessary

2) Lorinser roof spoiler ??? dont know if its worth the $500

3) Remus or Eisanmann exhaust

4) K-mac camber correction kit for Kleemann suspension...in order to prevent uneven tire wear

5) new tires for the summer 235/40 and 265/35

Eisenmann Racing Exhaust would be a good choice, the combination of s/c and that system turns out really good.

the top 2 for me on that list would be an exhaust or the camber kit...

since your drop wasn't much, i wouldn't be too worried about the camber issue.... therefore, go for the exhaust...

i thought you said you didn't want to go with Eisenmann since everyone else had eisenmann....

yes but I quess my options are limited to the amount of money I want to invest.

granted I love the Lorinser but for $1300 I can get the Eisanmann exhaust, the Lorisner roof spoiler and possible the Kmace correction kit

so for the money it comes down to the Remus which I can get for about $700 or the Eisanmann which is about the same and I from what I hear the Eisanmann sounds better

I heard some clips from their website and they do sound badass
