Default What should I get?

I just put in clear and blue lights and i tinted my car, and now i want to do something to make it faster. I was thinking supercharger or Nos. I dont want exhaust and i dont think intake is worth it. What do you think i should get? Let me know prices too. Another option is to lower it, but that wont exactly make it faster. I posted this on is300.net and got nothing but some *******s telling me to search. so if your gunna tell me to search, save your own time and dont bother with it.

Just do a search on is300.net. trust me, they have some useful facts on there. I driven an automatic supercharged before and It feels weak, go for the turbo!

supercharger is probably a better option than turbo being that youre in cali. check out PLP i hear theyre working on their kit for the IS pushing out 300HP.

lowing springs in a cheap mod also. wont make the car faster but may help in handleing and style.

if you getting springs, you have to get shocks or you're going to messed up your ride. Springs are only for looks if you dont have shocks.

one more thing... Why do you think a Intake is a waste?? I agree to a point a intake alone is a waste but with a piggy-back ecu the Intake does raise your hp/tq....
