What Was Your First Mod?
 
Intake? Race springs? Those are the two most common. I'm curious on what you guys mod first? Perhaps clear side markers?

eibach prokit springs followed by wheels, then ms muffer, kartboy short shifter, knob, lip spoiler.... that's about it total was less
than 2400bucks. :D which is like less than 1/5 of wat i spent
on my wrx.

I dealt with the stereo first. I figure that if I'm gonna be stuck in traffic, I want to make sure I don't hear the next guy's music.
-Focal speakers
-Alpine amp/HU
-Basslink sub

Looks like most of you went for suspension first. I will probably do that as soon as the car breaks in, so that I know which part of the suspension I should mod first. Does the car have a lot of understeering stock? Considering it's FF, usually it understeers.
