And I am sure you could get a used cobb AP for around 600.

So yes you will run a little over. But its not far off. Also depends on if you want new springs too. If so, I would forego the downpipes and get struts and springs and the tune.
or you could blow the whole thing on KW V2. In my experience, the best initial bang for buck mod is suspension.

NurEinser, What suspension are you running??

Finally, after you're armed with information, you can make an informed decision about what to do.

Meh, who am I kidding? Throw on some coilovers and slam it to the ground, buy wheels that don't fit and stretch some crappy tires on those bad boys, and then watch as the panties drop, playa.

I would at least drive it around stock for a while before deciding what I wanted to change. How could you possibly know what areas of the car need improvement? Most people on here are going to tell you to go right into the power mods. I would lean towards better tires as a first "mod" then go from there. RFTs suck.

The car is great! I am ready for more power though. Knowing I have 400hp+ engine making only 300 is killing me mentally. Besides power though I do feel like the car can ride lower and have a firmer suspension, too much roll for me in the corners. RFT's Do suck!
