my cuurent major mods are the vortec supercharger, J's header, T1-R stainless 70mm catback and test pipe. exterior mods are limited to mugen rear cf wing and oem front lip. and no handling mods so far but the spoon X-brace.

i kindly need your opinion on the next mods list i intend to buy. im satisfied power wise and i wanna refine the looks and handling.

-Spoon Fixed Damper Kit and Spoon progressive springs (to upgrade suspension).

-Spoon 4-pot Mono-Block Caliper Set (to upgrade braking feel and performance).

-HONDATA ECU to get the potential of the vortec with stock boost.

-a new paint job with a new color.

-AMUSE R-1 front bumper.

-volk ce28 17s 9inch rears and 7.5inch fronts.

value aside, are those good choices to improve the car for daily use and some track days?

thanks in Advance

 

Hondata is a bad idea. I would go with more of a standalone ecu such as AEM EMS, pending you have a tuner that you trust. Not that theirs much wrong with Hondata, but its based of off the RSX version and uses an RSX ecu. You will have to change various sensors in the f20c to k20a ones.

In the end its up to you, but thats my 2 cents.

 

stock caliper with some awesome pads is plenty fine for performance and feel. the only reason to use an aluminum caliper IMO is the unsprung weight savings (for a part DD part track car)

 

R1 front bumper! Do itttt!!! I would say either the bumper or the wheels because my guess is you haven't used your stock suspension or brakes to their full potential yet. It takes several track days to see the limits of the stock suspension rather than the limits of the driver.

 

After you are comfortable with the handling of your stock vehicle, I suggest choosing a high quality, fully adjustable coiover system. There are many to choose from that are suitable for you.

With a supercharger system, I suggest a larger diameter exhaust such as this. Minimal weight, Highest quality, Maximum power:

thank you for the feedback,

well, the main reason that made me choose the Hondata was that its easier to tune than other stand alone EMS. is that worth buying it?

reducing unsprung weight is a welcome upgrade i actually was shocked how heavy the stock caliper is -i held a spare caliper on my hands- considering its small size. also the spoon looks good.

actually im going to have some track days before modifying the car to see the before and after improvment.

i chose the spoon fixed damper kit because i thought its a good balance for DD and track fun also its cheaper that fully adjustable coilover systems. also the spoon springs will lower the car a little. if im not considering the full coilover, is this a good improvment over stock?

 

but what i think is even your car is a daily use....Spoon Caliper still is a good choic...cuz i won'y mind the spend money on something may save my life...

 

i hope that i get some feedback

 

maybe a more aggressive wheel?

17x7.5 +50 17x9 +63 wont stand out as a lower offset wider wheel

maybe a non-staggered set
...and also something to clear the spoon calipers without spacers.
