I have a 98' integ ls..right now i have a dc sports strut bar, cold air intake, megan racing headers, test pipe and a dc sports catback on the way....and now i dont know what to get next any suggestions?

 

Suspension is the first thing that comes to mind.

A set of Koni Yellow dampers and H&R Sport Springs would make a decent start, along with polyurethane bushings in a few key spots. From there, you're looking at upgraded rear sway bars and stainless steel brake lines..

And, of course, a decent set of tires.

 

^ absolutely... u seem like you DEFINATELY need springs/shocks/tires ... unless those were just not included... they will make a huge difference in the feel of ur car... if u were asking about just engine mods... now is the time that you have to decide between N/A (Naturally aspirated) or FI (forced induction) ... did u wanna build the motor to shit... or turbo it... your options are stuck at those 2.... make ur decision... research on pros and cons of each and get back to us

 

How big of a diff do the brake lines make?

 

i big differnce......

 

A substantial one, based on my experience with my old GTi.
Granted the rubber lines were crapped out at the point that I made the switch, but the difference in pedal "feel" was worth the expense. In my case, it was particularly important because the car did not have ABS. h:

Compared to standard rubber lines, the brakes felt firmer and more progressive. Because the tendency for the OEM rubber lines to swell under pressure is largely eliminated, you have finer control over the rate of deceleration.

 

What is best for suspension that i should get....? and i was thinking about turbo but i dont know how much my stock engine will hold for one..... so i think i might just do what ever with this one...what about lsvtec???

 

Whoa there... let's take things one at a time, eh? :chuckles:

IMO, you're at a point where you need to consider your long-term plans for the car. And before adding more power, I recommend focusing on suspension and braking power first.

* What are road conditions like where you live & drive?
* Will the car see any track or auto-x time?
* What's your budget?
* How long do you plan to keep the car?

 

i live in dayton well a suburb so there are roads n highways n everything, might see a test n tune at kil kare...(local track)...as for budget it just all depends...i am 17 so i have some income and i have money saved...plan on keeping it for awhile...

 

I'm trying to get an idea of road conditions, not layout. :run:

Dayton, Ohio, I presume? That would means snow, thus frost heaves and generally rough roads due to studded tires, etc

If the roads are rather rough, I'd lower the car no more than 1.75" and opt for 15" or 16" diameter wheels. Maintain enough suspension travel to cope with pot-holes, ruts and bumps. Also, the thicker sidewalls of a 205/50R15 or 205/45R16 tire will be better suited for rough roads where you want to isolate some of the impact harshness of pavement joints and cracks.
