here's a little 411 on the car, i bought it on 12.31.07 it's an '08 350. one week later i got the red-outs and fujita intake. in febuary i changed all the lights to smt leds and fogs and high beams (<--- waste of money on the drl's) to piaa xtreme wht plus. back in march i got the tanabe coil-overs, teas unit, hotchkis sways, hks hi power axle back and momo shift ****. in april i added stop tech brake lines and blacked out the chrome around the grill. so thats why i feel like a junkie needing a fix.

Get the strut bar first!! 'cause I want to know how the car will feel with BOTH strut bar and Tanabe coilovers...lol.... After having the Tanabe coilovers installed on my car for only two days, I already started to feel the chasis still isn't stiff enough. Different people have different priorities in their minds, you should go with whatever makes you the happiest. I want to get both of these soon also, maybe we can buy together and see if we can get a discount!

Strut Bar....Guess someone has to be the first!

I am not a fan of the roof spoiler.

Roof spoiler first, strut bar does nothing for handling. And I didnt say that for a debate so lets stick on topic
