Default Mod this month

I'm able to get one of the three (this) month.. Can't decide which to do first... so I am looking for the help

Springs (Steeda or FRPP, one of those two)
MAC cut n clamp prochamber
Steeda or JLT Oil Seperator

I'm not looking for alternatives for this... just which of the three...

Depends on what your priority is. For me, I would put it as Prochamber, springs, then catch can. Check out the UPR catch cans - they are the best

It all depends on what you're wishes are. For the engines sake you would do the catch can first. The drop will help performance and looks, and obviously the prochamber will get you a nice sound. I would do the catch can first then springs.

If you're doing springs I would do shocks/struts at the same time depending on how aggressive your drop is.

But once you drop it it'll look sweet.

Yes indeed! Replacing the shocks & struts with some quality stuff is a must-do anyway. I'm putting Eibach Pro's on mine. If you autocross or race, you may want adjustables.

You'll find doing springs may result in order parts needed. Adj PHB for starters if the drop just so happens to kick your axle off center. The prochamber would be a great mod and you can't go wrong with their sound. A catch can is something I get from the list, its the cheapest and allows you to potentially mod a little more the following month!

I think Im going with the catch can and a set of (real) hood pins (my hood starts rising up at 70+)... next check is the next mod

I'm thinking of waiting for the springs until after the s/c in april... and get something like the FRPP or Steeda kits for it

Thanks folks
