JDM*vbp is an unknown quantity at this point
springs or intake

I just picked up a fit.

I don't know what to do first:

1) get lower springs
-or-
2) get intake

haha hmmmm..

what are some of your opinions?

personally i'm leaning a little towards the springs first.

Actually if i had the money i'd get new rims first.
