base vs sport package

jaedub · 03-10-2014, 03:19 PM

I went with base for 2 reasons:
1.) I was on budget
2.) I will eventually replace the factory parts once the car is paid off

-I know how to heel-toe so SRM is a waste for me
-Whether it's base wheel or sports, I will eventually swap them out
-Definitely getting a LSD that is far superior than the factory VLSD
-Only thing I really want from sports package is the akebono brake kit

Base vs sports is $2600. Base is a waste if you want a bbk.

Even if you're not, add up the rays, tires, bbk, spoiler, LSD, euro shocks, chin spoiler and see if they sell for more than $2600 in the for sale threads. Then you keep the syncro and sell the car for more money one day down the road. It's a no brainer and anyone that thinks a base is better is just

Yeah but then you have no spare parts.

I'm not sure those components sell for $2600 more than base components anyways.

Spare parts? What's that?

Well I sold my wheels for $1800. Brakes should be at least $800-1000. But again, when you go to sell you have a more expensive car.

Not if you sold the parts!
