[QUOTE="Crash, post: 336528, member: 904"] hey whadamn, firstly, congrats on the Putra purchase. I'm sure this baby will satisfy and bring you smiles for the next couple of years at least. Ok, let's get down to business. [b]Suspension:[/b] Titans, although initially pricey, is a good choice. Just ask the Titan-ed rides on ZTH. Or get ninja_iga for advice or a demo ride. You can use them forever basically. Try Jap ones like Tein if you have the budget. HWLs aren't too bad IMHO but as with local products, consistency of quality is an issue. You may also try RGs. In general, just go for coilovers, saves money in the long run. Don't have to replace absorbers every year or two. :) [b]Engine:[/b] I would almost always recommend a performance drop-in replacement air filter like a K&N or PiperCross.
