I don't own either. I'd definitely get the piggyback though. They say it's the best single mod you can get... and if you already have mods, it's supposed to be really nice.

Outside of forced induction, I'd go with suspension mods. You can feel the effects much more. And I like the feeling of taking a corner faster than I should rather than drive a straight line over the speed limit.

i'd say the suspension aswell... not to down the piggyback.. but u'll have to run on a higher grade gas. if that aint a problem for you then i say you take it to the quater.... heads - piggyback tails - teins.

i sold my piggy to mars....

mars...let them know how much of a difference it makes...to me it was a night and day difference...no other thing out there like it...well...besides turbo...but piggy all the way

power is useless without grip
then he should get tires then...no?...cus most of your grip would be coming from that...not the basic damper set

so for all those people that posted no to the piggy....have you already owned it? or driven a car with similar mods as your but has the piggy added?..if not go find someone with it and take it for a ride...80% of you will come back saying to get the piggy...

now if he's autoXing then i would say the damper...

for sure its like a new car. it hauls a$$. it feels like the car is racing you through all the gears. you put it in gear and the accelleration just pulls itself. then when you get on it its ready for you.
