well, i have made up my mind. i dont want my car to be a 1/4 mile car, i want to handle. i may go to some auto-x events, but not like im gonna go race alot...just want the good handling capabilities. right now, i have a question more related to the engine. i have read in many magazines and online articles that low end touque is the best because you rarley ever get out of 3rd gear...is this that true for our cars?? i have a high flow cat and i know i have lost low end torque...will this hurt me at all?? should i swap someone for the stocker cat and gain some backpressure? what about rims...what are some good rims that look good but are also functionable by putting down pretty good contact pach?? i dont want anything bigger than 17's. anyways, any help is much appreciated. im lookin to get coilovers/shocks in the near future...are tokiko's pretty good?? one guy i know who auto-x's has tokikos, but id like some others opinions as well! thank!
