Default What to do next????

I'm kinda stuck on doing visual mods or going for more performance...
As for now I have a 2008 alloy gt and so far I've done new wheels, sequential T/L's, Tint, smoked turn signals for visuals than for performance I have borla A/B's, BBK CAI, Eibach Pro-Kit, Tociko D-Specs, and a BMR ADJ PHB. So just looking for some feedback and some Ideas since you guys got me this far...

If you're staying NA, then I'd say gears and a tune. (4.10:1 manual, 3.73:1 auto) It's easily the greatest bang for the buck performance wise. American Muscle currently has gears on sale.

I was thinking of kooks longtube headers with catted h-pipe but imma need to save some money for that. So I ended up ordering a sct/brenspeed tune and some smoked turn signals for now... than next maybe gears and udp's than a new tune after those mods are done. that should hold me off till I want more!!!

I heard changing the rear is more critacal than the front but I may be wrong. I plan on putting a BMR rear sway bar in before the next time I have car alligned just so I dont have to worry about paying twice for allignment.

Installing or swapping a rear sta-bar will not affect wheel alignment - unless when you bolt it up you put some crazy amount of preload into the bar and actually get the car to roll a little to one side.

What size are the new wheels, and what tires are currently on them? No matter what other performance mods you do to the car, it eventually comes down to the tires to deal with it all.

You didn't mention the kinds of performance that you're looking for . . . or any issues you get while driving hard that would be good to get rid of.

The wheels currently on are 20'' shelby redlines and the tires are pirelli 255/35/20 on all four, there more for show. after replacing one of the rims due to a pot hole from HELL makes me want to move into the direction of staggerd 18''s in the future.
