That would imply that there is a planned outline that applies across all makes, models.

It is a ridiculous concept that was popularized by the gaming industry.

...and your example above does not make sense in relation to one another. One could imply that Stage 4 would be best setup because it has the largest progressing number. That couldn't be further from the truth.

Let's all agree to bury this "stage 1,2,3,4" deep down and never bring it up again.

There is no such thing as a fast daily driver with a long life. The car is fast enough as it is. You don't wanna replace part after part. Turbo is the easiest money drainer. Don't get me wrong, it is fun, but not for a daily driver. I would go as far as bolt-ons and lowering springs for a daily driver. Be mindful of legality if you are in a state such as California.

lowering springs are the almost worst idea ever for dd. they destroy your stock struts

you can build further than bolt ons and still manage to keep your car pretty dd, it just takes some research about which parts are functional in "normal" use

^

wtf?

are you talking about speed or power?

horsepower (hp) or speed km/h?

theres no sense in your writing

Id like to see a lude with 400km/h top speed.. or even 300km/h

thanks for proposing the burial of Stage 1,2,3 topic... lol

the lowering springs and a hard suspension is a bad idea for DD... i did that in my EK civic, and i couldn't bare it more than 1 month...

It can be done correctly...it's just a little more expensive and time consuming (research and modification of the shock bodies) than going to a reseller and buying a "kit".

Oops, I meant coilovers, lowering springs are cheap. I have coilovers on my lude and I love it. I drive 200 miles a week on average. But I don't have my car as low as it can go.
