I would lower it - sweeter handling - then you don't need the remap!

Hello,

Filter & Exhaust First
Then Suspension mods ideally coilovers however if budget is a problem springs will be ok for fast road :)

Remapafter the exhaust and filter - or even after a nice FMIC Kit ;)

Depends on your driving style and why you want the mods. If you want to be quick on every road then suspension every day (save up for a full kit for preference), if you just want to do drag strip runs or motorway hassling of bigger motors then get the remap

Lower. Arctic is way too high lol. Then get into your stride with full on engine mods.

Power is no good if you cant use it all ....................

However a remap would be a good idea if it was me i think suspension first.

not true, i struggle getting power down round corners, stiffer springs can only help.

i'd still go for remap first though

wow thanks guys. its almost 50/50 lol 10 for remap and 11 for lower lol

some good suggestions though. i do find it annoying when i floor it coming of a round (i live in Milton keynes, so there is quite afew) and the car skidds then i lose power cos of stability program. lol.

Maybe suggestion from TJ is good. save up and do it all.

maybe coilovers then remap.

only thing is looking at about 1K for coils. boo

How much people think i could get for me remus 2nd hand 3000 miles?

only got 200 saved atm. that the problem when working part time over the summer off from uni.
