So with school starting back in a few weeks, I won't have much time to do any more work on my Max. This has brought me to conclude that it's time for one final upgrade before the fall semester.

Only problem is, I've narrowed it down to two and can't decide. So I want you guys to decide for me.

I'm torn between getting a Progress RSB and a set of NWP's intake spacers. Since I don't plan on doing anything more until the spring, I want something that's going to give the Max a bit of different feel, and from what I've read, both of these will do just that, just in different ways (obviously).

So what does the .org think?

 

NWP

 

NWP

 

If you want a handling upgrade, go for the RSB (it less expensive and easier to install).

If you want a performance upgrade, go for the NWP spacers.

As you are driving around, think about what bothers you more.....lack of power or the boat like handling......and I think you will find your answer.

 

NWP spacers. I don't think that you can beat it for the $$$$. Will pick up a set at the Florida Maxima meet.

 

Everyone seems more impressed with NWP's spacers than the RSB. If I can get a few more opinions/impressions before I make my final decision, I'd appreciate it. But it looks like the spacers are going to be the final summer upgrade.

Edit: But at the same time, kgallerie brought up a good point... The fact that I'm riding on Progress springs on OEM struts does kind of bother me...I just don't know if I'm ready to invest in Illuminas yet. I've been screwed over twice on eBay. At least I know if I order a set of spacers from Aaron, he'll be good to deal with.

 

NWP FTW!

 

nice

 

:matt93se:

I'm sick of you newbs posting irrelivant **** to get your post count up...I mean, I know I'm no old-school member. But this is ridiculous. If you're going to post, at least contribute...

 

Lol it seems everyone here is just a lil' biased for power over handling. And allow me to also be biased
NWP. I plan on doing this soon also

 

spacers.. you'll like the performance difference.. (i'm waiting to get mine installed)

 

Progress RSB. i drove alexz 5.5 gen, and it has plenty power, but corners so-so.

 

I agree with kgallerie. Do you feel like you need better handling or more go from your car? On another note, why not look into a LTB? I heard they do wonders.

 

Definitely the RSB...balances out the understeer nicely.

 

I just bought a set if Illuminas off Ebay for $445 shipped. Had no problems at all........ Seller was JDM Werks

 

why not get the RSB and a block off plate.. 2 things... still less then the spacers.... just an idea.. although.. i already have the RSB and plate and want the spacers .. ..dont be mistaken though.. the RSB does make a world of difference in big sweeping corners.. on/ramp off ramp performance.. like.. night and day.. but on the same token.. aarons products and service are top notch lol g/l

 

Really? I tried to buy from him, and he made all kinds of different excuses, and then refused to respond to me until I opened a claim on PayPal...

Then he refused to return my calls...

I looked into the LTBs a while back, but the roads around Nashville (interstates especially) seem a bit...rough for that. I'd be concerned about scraping considering I'm still running stock struts...

 

Get an RSB.

I for one am starting to want better handling...and my obsessing over the engine isn't helping my budget

 

x2 on the florida meet purchase.


its a boat go straight to powwaaaaaaaaaaaa
