Default how to upgrade

Quick question, what is your upgrade procedure? Suspension, brakes, then performance? or performance first, everything else can wait.

Upgrade the driver skill level before you do ANYTHING. Driver training will make your car faster, more than any go fast parts can.

come on...its not that hard to mash on the gas pedal...i dont think everybody here road races...as for upgrades...start simple...and your budget also comes into play here too. i dont think theres any golden rule on what to start first...but when you do upgrade, get quality parts, god knows ive bought some parts in my life and regretted it...

i always thought suspension then brakes then power but feel free to mix it up. its your car though dont let me tell you what to buy. get to know your car then jsut ask yourself what is the weakest thing about my car.

do whatever you will enjoy the most. especially if youre not planning on autocrossing, i went intake exhaust and header first and loved it then i went turbo and loved that even more until i blew two pistons

Depending on what car you have. For a stock gsr i would say itr cams ($400) and vafc (turn the crossever higher) right there you will be ahead of gsr's with i/h/e

About, the ITR cams, I heard that performance is lost with more aggressive cams when going to my altitude, 6000 ft. Is this true?
