Orr..

I can buy The underbody 3 millino USB LED kit with the wheel well LED's $250-300 ish
black and red racing seats for $280
Cross over (for my system) $80

Rims. The other ones just don't do it for me.


But it is your car.

If you like the SS style you could get those... shouldn't be that hard to find a set of SS/NA wheels. But save up so you can drop and do rims at the same time, IMO. Eibach springs are like $240 I think?

A drop will cost somewhere in the $200-$250 range. It will void the warranty on your suspension if the dealer knows its lowered.

There is a wing trading thread in the classifieds section.

how much would you recomend droping the car? or how much did you drop the car? and what is a good brand of springs to invest in?

also, about how hard is that to do your self? should i pay to have it done???

It's personal preference really. I dropped mine 1.9" in the rear and 1.6" in the front on Canuck Motorsports springs. They can be bought on ebay for $163 + shipping.

There are quite a few brands to choose from. I've been running mine for 2 years almost on stock struts with no problems.
