Default First mod for a newby...

Hi all, just curious what performance orientated mod the majority of u started out with on your AU's and the relative costs that were involved. i was thinking to go either a suspension upgrade or an exhaust system.

My suspension would probably be new shocks, SSL's and a camber kit, maybe coilovers if they're cost effective. Dont think i'd touch the swaybars and such straight up. Who has a nice low ride that handles well without scraping and rubbing the tyres every second bump? Maybe u could offer some pointers.

Not sure on the exhaust side as i've always wanted a proper split twin system and now i have a V8 to do it. I want the exhaust to exit both sides of the rear, not side by side as i've seen with most other modern V8 systems. This is only for looks really as i'm aware that my car will never be a quarter mile rocket, just want a tough cruiser.

If i dont go through with 1 or the other, i'll probably spend the money and buy myself a bigger turbo for the tx3 haha.

Anyway, if u guys have any advice on what i should do with my money before i go and do things the wrong way, please share with me your wisdom.

p.s. i'm aware of the search function used by many forums but i am getting too old and lazy to work things out for myself, so... :thebirds:

thanks
adam
