I just bought a used 06 mcs with 20k miles on it, i have the following upgrades and i'm thinking new pipe next? What will get me the most performance for my buck?

• Webb Motor Sports 15% pulley
• Alta intake with red silicon hose
• One-ball exhaust
• H-sport springs
• H-sport control arms
• 17" Rota Subzeros
• M7 Strut Tower Bar
• GIAC ECU tune (for 15% pulley, intake)
• Helix Engine Torque Dampener

 

15% pulley will get the best numbers for ya. the strut tower brace will get the most stability for ya. after that i'd follow this way

alta intake- whatever color hose you like i like black.
one ball exhaust
giac tune
h sport springs
h sport control
rims and tires
torque dampener

i like to feel the raw power for a little while and then feel it all pulled together with a tight suspension. I haven't done any mods yet but i've been doing a ton of research. i like the alta V2 15% pulley based on a lot of reviews i read.
happy motoring!

 

Rear sway bar.

 

IMHO:

1. Brake upgrades - better pads for sure. SS lines and brass bushings for a better feel (both optional).

2. Front camber plates and a good alignment with slightly more negative camber than the stock alignment specs.

3. A quality engine tune (RMW)

 

Just so everyone knows, the list of upgrades Disco mentioned are upgrades he already has, so no need to suggest them

I would go with the brakes if I was you, as long as your suspension is where you want it. Not much beats a nice set of strong brakes to give you confidence, both on the road and the track!

Good luck, and nice set-up!

 

Sway bar is always performance bang for your buck for your suspension.

 

Yep... I missed that. The rear swaybar is a relatively inexpensive mod for the change in handling. Any 19mm adjustable rear swaybar should be OK unless you are a hard-core Auto-X junkie. I like having Zerk fittings on the bushing brackets to make re-greasing an easy thing to do.

 

+1 no doubt in my mind

 

Im going to recommend camber plates and 4 adjustable rear control arms - a quality alignment will do wonders for your handling.

Later, if not sooner, get poly front control arm bushings.

 

I just did the Alta 22mm rear sway bar mod (first mod) and love the way the car feels now. Would highly recommend this.

 

haha i'm retarded. did not realize these were what he had done already.

+1 for rear sway bar
