hey guys wellim planning on spending my hard earned cash on some mods for my car. I got a wine red r33 GTST, its lowered a fair bit but got the stock body kit. Im tryna decide weather to get a new front bar and some side skirts or and get my rims powdercoated in the wrx ash colour. Or to just get a new set of 17 or 18 inch wheels. But i only really have like $1300 to spend.

If i get a new front bar and side skirts wot ones shud i get and how much would it all cost after being painted and fitted, not including the powdercoating? or do i get sum lenso wheels?

all depends on whether u want performance or looks?? sounds like ur goin for looks...so id say go get the side skirts+rear pods and save up for some rims. no use gettin a front bar cause it'll look funny havin the whole kit with the stock rims still on.

waste of money powdercoating stockies.

thats just my opinion

If u are going 2 get front bar, u have to get sides and rear. having a nice shape front and side with no rear makes the car look ulgy and doesnt suit even if u just add some gtr pods looks better than stock rear.

Go full kit shouldnt cost u more than $1000 install and painted :)

p.s get copy stuff, real kits r not much $$$$$

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
