.... to put towards your car, what would you do with it? I was thinking about getting new wheels & tires but then I'd have to most likely lower it a bit, which would probably put me over budget. So far I have only a CAI, tint, trans cooler and a ZEX kit in my car. I just got my bonus so I want to put a bit of it towards my car. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

 

Definitely do springs, sways, and shocks. It will make your ride so much more fun since handling will be improved dramatically. Do suspension first, wheels later. The added stability and cornering is worth every penny.

My car is just so much more enjoyable now that I put in springs/shocks.

You can get the prokit or neuspeeds for around $200

Kyb Agx shocks for $300

I think the Energy Suspension sways are around $300

The install, depending on where you are, would cost around $200-300

 

You could get some nice 17"s and and drop for under $1500

 

I'm thinking of getting some 17" you think its too small or should i go with 18"?

 

ib_jimmy go with 18's big rims + luxury = nice (IMO id get some deep dish 18's)

 

hahah true ... but deep dish 18's are gunna run ya some loot .. more than 1500 ...

back on topic .. take the 1500 and slam that shit ..then save for the rims ..

u'll enjoy the car that much more ..

oops sorry for the double post

 

What is the benefit of new sways? I'm thinking the prokit/KYB combo is a good idea

 

The benefit of sways is that they almost eliminate body roll entirely. Upgraded sways are thicker than the stock ones and are able to control more body roll. With springs/shocks/sways you will have almost zero body roll in turns. It becomes a function of how much your tires can take.

 

drop it and get an alignment. that will set u back about 800 - 1000 and ur stock rims will look 100000 times better when ur dropped so u can hold off on the rims. spend the rest on a cat back to help with ur NOS and maybe squeeze a dc 4-2-1 header to fiurther increase flow. ull get at least 10 more peak hp with ur nos with this setup not to mention at least 5-10 though out ur whole rpm range n/A

 

If your an automatic i would probably get a manual tranny. How much does that cost anyway?

 

he's got a 3.0 - unless he wants to spend probably $10K on a tranny then he probably doesn't want to consider that. you should know this by now.

 

I paid:

18's (Rims and tires) = $1200 shipped

KYB AGX shocks/struts = $350 shipped overnight (you should be able to get them for about $300 shipped).

Eibach Pro-Kit Springs = $150 shipped (used--you can get them for under $200, shipped--new)

Installation = FREE (did it myself--with help)

$1700 complete!

Shop around, you may find better prices.

Good luck!

 

I would get:

My ride dropped!!! $550 with KYB Shocks and a Pro-Kit

Windows tinted!!! $150 here in DC for a quality job

Custom Catback!!! $400 here installed

Rear Deck Spoiler!! $200 Shipped and painted

Pocket the change and get some hype ass CD's for my system, buy gasoline, get an alignment and a #6 from Wendy's with cheese, no tomatoes and biggie size that mamma-jamma!!!!!

 

i thought u had a I4 oh well still do the same cept it will cost much more

 

you can do this for around less than $1500.
