Default Getting an FA5, but what to do to it?

I'm getting an FA5 as my first 'money' car. I'm looking for suggestions on a few things; cat-back exhaust, tires (lower profile than stock), lowering springs (getting new rims, but still 17"), and an intake (should I even bother with this? or is it a trap to waste more gas? :D)

why lower than 45 tires if you are still on 17s?....it will look stupid IMHO

I'm guessing 'money' is some sort of new age slang for 'not a piece of ****'. But whatever.

Anyway.....for your catback i'd go with Greddy Ti-C or LSD

Tires - Leave them at 45 profile. Anything thinner and your 'money' car will look more like a giant 'peso'. Get my drift?? Also if you change your tires get Yokohama S-Drives (good value....great performance) or Goodyear Eagle F1s (even better performance).

Lowering Springs - Eibach Sportlines or Progress. They'll give you a good drop without sacrificing too much ride quality and pack a few more "benjamins" into your 'money' car look.

Intake - Injen or Fujita. Injen makes a cold air...Fujita does not. And it won't drain your gas. You'll be fine.
