next mod?

I have a 04 rx8 that has a racing beat intake and axelback exhuast on it. For my next performance mod should i do a custom midpipe or work on suspension? I also have a emange ultimate im not using.

What are you using your 8 for? Daily driver? AutoX? Track?

If you're looking at HP and don't care about emissions/smell/noise get a midpipe. If you're looking for better overall experience on a daily driver get some sways or some shocks/springs.

If you don't know what you want then get new tires, new brake pads, and change your fluids.

PS. Try searching once you figure out what you want your 8 to be. The product names will magically appear...

I would suggest Racing Beat Sway Bars. They were my first suspension mod and I definitally noticed a difference in how the car handles.

ok yea i was thinking about suspention because i feel less confident at the limits of this car than i did my turbo tc. but i wanted it quicker also. i did my own custom turbo kit to my scion tc last year in highschool. i had it beating c4 corvettes and keeping up with c5's. its my daily driver but i dont mind having a race car as a daily driver...

spend money on autoX/track days and learn the car's limit before you start modifying.
