Upgrade question

just a quick question. I want to do two upgrades for my JCW 2017 but only have enough money for one of the upgrades for now. The two I would like to do are Intercooler upgrade, or coil overs.My question to all of you is, what is your choice and why?

Coil overs. Immediate gratification. I/C alone won’t do that much for you. I would suggest a bigger rear sway bar while you’re under the car.

That’s a good start. But, I’d still go with the coil overs. Once you get the suspension dialed in, then you’ll be able to take advantage of the increased power from future upgrades. You don’t need gobs of power for these cars to be fun on a crooked road. You do need it to handle well regardless of the power output. This is just my opinion. YMMV
