power upgrade or lift??

Post by turbogu »

hey all, my new gu has finally arrived from nsw and i pick it up in the morning, im getting a set of 35" mtr's put on straight away, its currently got 2" lift and im trying to figure out what i should spend my cash on first,

do i put a water/air intercooler on (already ordered a 3" exhaust) and get more power (with boost and pump mods) or do i spend the money on a 5" lift so it looks tuff??

im going to put a set of 30mm spring spacers in just to keep it roughly where it is when i put all my gear on it

so whats your opinions, more power and go hard or more lift and look tuff

its going to be a daily diver, well most days so grunt would be good but looking good while driving would also be nice!!

i cant decide, thought, ideas, anything???

cheers sean

Pfft. I reckon they look tough when they have big tyres and a wide stance. Going higher doesn't make them look tougher; you just want to go as high as you need to to get the tyres to fit and flex okay.
