Mods Part II

Well since I have joined this org, I have now added some new mods to my 2k2, namely a stillen exhaust, FSTB, and RSTB, and also a Weapon R Dragon intake. I know that I can still add a Y-pipe (when it is available) and a RSB, but what other mods can I make to my car, and what effect will they have. I have noticed many people have put "springs" onto their cars, I considered it, but what do they do for me, besides lower my car? Is there anything else that I can do that will either A) Add HP (very important), or B)aid in handling. Any ideas/help would be greatly appriciated, along with brands.

Lowering your car makes the handling alot better on your car....for HP get some boost

Springs/aftermarket shocks would definitely help your handling, by lowering the car's stance (center of gravity). Or take the middle road and get the Ground Control coilover sleeve with aftermarket shocks. But if you've got money to burn, go for the full coilover setup.

It'll make more difference than your RSB or STB's alone.

Under Drive Pulley and a Flywheel. I have neither of these because they don't seem to be very good in the CPH category (cost per horsepower).

But if you've got money to burn, go for it.

Any suggestions on a combination of springs/shocks that would work well together. Also how hard is this to install? Can I do it myself, or is it fairly complicated?

From what everyone says it seems to be a good combo..where did you get the KYB AGX shocks??
