Do you want your car to look pimp or be quicker? Thats what you need to decide first. That part is all up to you.

OBX headers, 75-shot Zex wet kit (bottle opener, purge kit, pressure gauge, bottle warmer, plug). Since you already have a cat-back and intake, you'll have plenty of power for $1400.00 (self-installed).

Then Pro-Kit, and KYB AGX struts = $500 (self-installed).

Take the $600 left over, bank it, and save for rims and tires. Winter will be here soon enough (get new rims and tires next spring--you have less than 3 months until the possibility of snow).

use however much you need to get the kyb agx shocks and whatever choice springs you want..... seems like most people here prefer the eibach pro kits, but i think the sportlines would look nicer. If you get the sportlines, you may need a camber kit and you may bottom out.

Then, spend the rest on car audio!!!!!!!!!!
I can't even picture having my car with no audio.

Hi, dustbuster is thier a major diff in OBX vs comptech and the Pro-Kit, and KYB AGX struts combo ( how well dose it fit ). and winter is right around the corner and i should just save up till spring comes. ( good thinking ). and the Zex is it worth the money? do you feel much more power just just a little more and is it safe ? and how much for a refill everytime.

if you would reply me i would be very thank ful.

OBX headers are made from the same design as the Comptechs. I would imagine that the Comptechs are of a better build quality (they better be, for $850 more), but my OBX headers have been great.

The Pro-Kit is designed for those who want a slight drop (1.4") which helps eliminate the wheel gap and lower the car's center of gravity. If you're looking for the "slammed look", DON'T get the Pro-Kit. The KYB AGX struts are great for the price, they're agjustable (not in height, but in dampening [stiffness]), and are reasonably priced. I noticed a dramatic difference in the Pro-Kit/AGX combo (compared to stock).

With the Zex kit, the power is DEFINITELY noticeable (even with the 55-shot). The system is safe (just use the Zex plugs and 93 octane gas). N2O refills depend on where you live. I pay $40 per bottle ($4 per lb.)

The installation on the springs/shocks isn't too difficult. As long as you have a good spring compressor and power tools, it's a piece of cake. If you have hand tools, you might be better off letting a shop do it. A lot of members had a bolt freeze up on them and they spent hours/days trying to drill it out. To have a shop install it is around $100. $100 isn't a bad deal but I wouldn't pay that much, just because i'm cheap, but it might be worth it to you.

that should be a nice drop..it'll look good w/ 18's and they should fit as long as you dont buy tires that are too wide.

i know about drops, not about rims though, so you might want to ask guys that have drops & 18's. I have a 3" drop on the stock 16's but when i get 18's i'll have to raise it up some
