As most know I proudly have two 5MT Mirages, my '17 with about 50 KMs, and my '14 with 239 kms.
I love the look of our Mirages with aftermarket rims and tires. I love the amazing improvements with aftermarket suspension components such as springs and sway bars. Now my dilemma.
It's going to cost me about $1500 to upgrade one Mirage to the way I would like. I figure about $500 for tires, $500 for Konig rims, likely $400 for front and rear sway bars, and about $100 for VW springs and Moog camber bolts. I can't say I have an issue dropping that kind of money on my '17, but, oh boy, let me say that $1500 is not too far from the total purchase price of my '14.
If I don't update both cars I might not enjoy, or worse, hate driving the '14 as it wobbles around. I might cheap out on the '14 with different tires and rims, possibly cutting their cost to $500 for both, but add the suspension upgrades I'm still looking at $1000. My last option is to run the OEM alloys and Enasaves and just upgrade the '14 suspension for $500.
What options would you chose if you had both my Mirages and wanted to do some upgrades?
