$4k budget mod list?

Yooo fam (jk)

Continuing my relatively new R ownership with my ‘13 and ready to start adding high quality mods 👍

Goal: maintain daily fun function/drivability with potential for occasional track use and definite use in cruises/meets.

Already done:
Under the hood/motor - intake, BOV, downpipe, intercooler, tune (local shop is estimating around 400hp based on 0-60 timing and feel alone without being on dyno yet).

APR short shifter in-hand ready to be installed

Exterior -
ECS carbon fiber spoiler extension

Wants:
Suspension - (slightly lower and definitely a bit stiffer). Would like to reduce/remove body roll

Exterior - lip/splitter kit all around

Exhaust - catback. Needs more sound but not obnoxious (too old for that)

Brakes - would like performance pads, rotors, and lines

Wheels - really getting into the rally look on these cars, definitely needs to be a bit wider and sticking with 18”. Tires will need to be added as well.

Budget:
$4k - slightly adjustable if needed. Does not have to include the cost of installation.

I would love to hear your suggestions/personal lists/ideas/links/pictures/etc.

Mk6 love/is it tuned?

Hey Y’all,

New-ish R owner here.

114k miles, bought for 16k from dealer, only mods are IE intake, unknown brand BOV, ecs carbon fiber spoiler extension.

Coming from Wrx world, this is everything the Wrx should have been and more, I don’t see myself driving anything else I love this car it’s amazing.

My question though, how can I find out if it’s tuned?

My crude butt dyno and actually counting the 0-60 seems to be about 3.5 secs. This thing is freaking fast. I’ve driven stock R’s before and they sure don’t feel like this.

Pics for attention, I’ve posted the first one before. I’d love to see your 6’s and mod lists! Next up for me will be coilovers for sure. I’m in Ohio, anyone else?
