If you have any inclination down the road of getting a supercharger, don't waste money on a CAI/Tune. That will be $700 - $800 thrown away. The first mod I would do would be lower it with a suspension system to get rid of the 4x4 look.

A tuner can always be useful.

The only suggestion is really marshall law around here man.
1st mod = Tuner/cai of choice, which brings about the next debate...
which cai.lol

You would do well to practice and improve your "searchfu"...
it is weak grasshopper

I have that tuner and those springs on my S197 and they work exceptionally well.

If you do springs, go with Steeda. Very high quality and great stance! I highly recommend a CAI/tune though.

I had the steeda's and loved them, not knocking on steeda at all but, I switched to BMR and my traction was much much better, also a mild drop, they also cost about the same

Which set of Steeda springs? That has an impact depending on what you're looking for.

I had the steeda sports, but after several searchs and asking around i found guys 60ft times were much faster on bmr vs any other spring, this isn't counting drag springs. The ride quality staid the saem and I could'nt tell much difference, They do sit just a lil lower, my sig pic isn't updated, so I'll have to take a pic with them on there
