Best Bang for your Buck Mods
By Christopher Hurst

Modifying a car gets expensive fast. If you don’t have a million dollars to blow on figuring out what works, this is your guide to parts that net the biggest gains for your money.

It all depends on what your starting with and your end goal. Not having a plan will cost more in the long tun. Better to spend a little more and do it right the first time

Headers and a tune cheaper and better results than heads
shocks and sways better and cheaper than $2k coilovers
gears

Don’t forget PS and AC delete!

AC delete has added bonus in that you now drive a sauna and you will lose weight too, thereby making you even faster (up to the point you pass out from dehydration or have a heat stroke)
