I own an 08 Mazda 3 sedan, all stock parts, any upgrades worth looking into?
 
Ive decided im going to stick with my 3 as long as sticks with me. My knowledge of cars is next to none. But i have some friends that know their stuff that can help me out in the installation and modification of things.

So im asking all you 08 mazda 3 owners, are there any modifications that you found were worth the time, money and effort? I was talking to someone about getting some sway bars installed. Do you think it would be worth it? What about other modifications?

Car Specs i can think of:
08 Mazda 3 i Touring
2 liter engine
Basic stock CD player (not the 6-cd changer... i cant even use the PAUSE button...)
I bought it 2 years ago at about 25k miles. it now has over 75k miles. (im on the road a lot for work)
My bumper-to-bumper full warranty ends at 100k miles.
The type of driver i am, i like to have fun with it, but i dont get too crazy. the occasional drift around a corner is fun, but i worry about being too hard on my car so i dont do it often.

Any questions feel free to ask! Thanks for your help!

:rolleyes:
Some people do put on Hella horns! (not me). Dukes of Hazzard horn is a good option.
Your car is not a racer, however handling could be improved with suspension upgrades. Nice tires and rims are always nice.

new rims probably would add a lot to the car. i know it did on my parents 04 mustang.

the side strips are peeling off on my driver side so i think im going to remove those entirely.
