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

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
