Which one of this mod do you guys think is a good first mod for my TJ VRX man?
Lowered suspensions?
Powerchip?
LSD?
the price are all roughly equal so which one would make a good first mod?
thanks

I don't see how the prices are all rougly equal but I would reccomend a set of a lowered king springs for your VRX. Im running superlow kings at the front and low kings at the rear and the result is perfect and handling is far better. Axel hop is almost a thing of the past which is great.

Forget about the powerchip, look at a greddy emanage down the track when you have done all your engine mods.

LSD is only good for a manual transmission and im assuming since yours is an 03 that it still has some decent warranty left so I would advice leave this one till when your warranty expires before you start ripping the gearbox appart.

Start with lowering springs, replacement air filter or cold air induction kit, pacemaker extractors (will void warranty), straight through rear muffler.

Goodluck bud :thumbsup:

Rule out powerchip, been tried by two people on here and no gain.

Replace that with greddy emanage, then you'd really need more mods before you'd consider that otherwise you'd get no major benefit from it.

LSD, well if you're thinking about going to do a lot of mods, this will be a good investment.

Suspension/lowering. Probably the best idea out of the lot.

hmmmm.... so the powerchip is just a scam?!! i was very close to getting it.
$890 and power claim to be 178kw
LSD is only standard on the man ralliart, it doesnt come with man vrx. :cry:
Kings low springs sounds like the way to go! i guess
any other good first mods?

Reckon either panel or pod k&n filter to help your engine breathe a bit better. I have a pod but think a new k&n panel filter in standard filter box with re directed inlet duct would be a easy way to get effective CAI (cold air induction) See other threads in this folder for more options.
Just be careful how far you go with your mods if you want to keep your warranty as Blake has already said.

250 for springs..

800ish for powerchip..

1500 - 2500 for LSD...

Not quite sure where you got they are all equal?

Id go with lowering it first.. Once you lower it, mmm bring on the hard cornering!

well if he does shock and springs then it's around the $850 mark. Unless he is thinking about coilovers?! then it's around the $1550.

I would suggest you look at your breathing first, ie. K&N pod/panel filter. then suspension. Look at power after you can brake and turn first. That's the safest way.
