Modification Advice

I have a 2008 2.5s coupe 6mt. I currently have most of the basic bolt on stuff. I have k&n intake,stillen headers,Greddy tic exhaust, and eibach lowering springs. I've been getting a bit bored of driving it. I was thinking of getting some of the stuff from racingline. I'm thinking of getting the short shifter,strut bar,sway bar and front and rear endlinks. I'm still not sure about the grounding kit and traction kit. I was trying to get some input from people who have this stuff if it's worth it. Oh yeah I aslo am thinking of getting the bullydog tuner. I use the car as my daily driver and don't really plan on getting rid of it anytime soon so I want to know if these things will make it more enjoyable to drive.

I would highly recommend the short shifter makes a world of difference if you have the 6mt. I am looking to get the strut and sway bar and they would be a nice addition with the eibach kit.

Yea I've heard alot of good things about it and also already ordered a razo 96 shift knob. I just wanted some opinions on what I should get and what is just a waste of money. I'll definitely be getting the short shifter.

Also for the manual changing the transmission oil to full synthetic makes a difference as well. I am running Redline MT-85 and it makes the changes butter smooth especially with the short shifter and the razo knob. I would say the biggest difference you will notice in the car would be from the rear sway bar from what I have heard which is why I am very interested in it. The bullydog would give you some tuning options but if you really want to get the most out of all the bolt ons look into the up-rev tune. I know a lot of the 3.5 guys have done it and say its great don't know if anybody with a 2.5 has done it yet.

UpRev is the only way to go for a real tune, and since you're 6MT - this is doable by any UpRev dealer.

Otherwise - suspension, suspension, suspension. Makes a world of difference on this car, trust me. Even lowering springs alone really change the handling dynamics of the coupe. In order to get the most out of it though, endlinks are a great option for this car in addition for the springs. If you do springs, sways, endlinks and such you will definitely need to look into an alignment to ensure everything is calibrated properly.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm going to end up ordering the sway bar,strut bar, short shifter, and front and rear endlinks. Also gonna change my transmission oil to synthetic and see if I can find an uprev dealer in Vegas. Would I be able to install all that stuff myself with basic hand tools or should I take it to a shop?
