Mod to break the ice

Hi guys,

I'm having a hard time deciding which mod that I should do first. I use my car as a daily driver and spend 2+ hours in it each day and comfort is a concern for me. Maintenance is not an issue.
1. Michelin Pilot SS (I'm on the MSport 19" wheels)
2. Wheels (20+ is probably not an option)
3. JB4
4. Brake Pads
5. BMS Intake
6. H&R Springs
7. M Performance Exhaust (Drone is a concern but I am open to other exhaust suggestions)
8. Front Lip
9. M Performance Grill / Other exterior Upgrades
10. Maybe MAYBE Brembo BBK

Any advice on these upgrades would be helpful. If you could tell me if they compromise the comfort or make the car unbearable in any way, it would be appreciated.

Start with JB4. I'm sure somewhere in your 2 hours of daily driving you can find time to have some fun with the tune.

As for the exhaust, I have a M Performance exhaust. Drone is not bad at all considering it's attached to my Litespeed midpipe.

I changed my tyres a couple of months ago to michelin pss, a massive transformation really comfy, quite and + more grip than the dunlop runflats I used to have.

I have the style 356 20"

^^^ +1. I would definitely add H&R springs and some spacers if you are not going to get bigger wheels.

Any words on ACS springs?

Thanks for all the replies! I think I'm just going to go full crazy and do most of them at once, as long as my dealer is ok with it. Another question that I have is if there is a JB4 install manual specifically for the F10.

Thanks again for all the replies!

Lowering springs + spacers (since you don't plan on going with 20's). ACS springs are very comfortable, nearly identical to stock so you won't compromise comfort.
