Hybrid is selling his Neuspeed Sport springs for 75 bucks picked up. It's a 1.75" drop in the front and 1.5" in the rear. But it dropped it a bit more on mine.

Also, custom piping will run you about 95 bucks with the muffler installed. DONT PAY ANYMORE, unless it's mandrel bent piping.

This is so refreshing, a kid that wants a GOOD looking car!

Cool

First things first, get the spoiler from ebay, OEM, there are a few to choose from, I got mine for 125 and had it painted to match locally and putting it on was a snap! (total about $185)

TINT TINT TINT, $135 for all side and rear windows at 35% (legal where I live)

ALPINE HU, best you can afford!


then start doing the suspension and exhaust mods....



Your Dad raised you right!

If you want aftermarket ones, correct. Or you could use your oem ones. I think they are selling the KYB AGX's on ebay for like $260 shipped. Either way, Neuspeed springs for 75 bucks aint bad. Great quality, and for a good price IMO.

Whats this? comments about teh magnamuff? Sorry Im so late.

14805 is the way to go... twin tips, just a bit bigger than stock, and it looks/sounds nice enough.

I had 2.25'' piping installed and car feels just fine (installed the muff/piping for about 135~, bought muff for about 150 (i think, cant remember exactly.) - dont know how 2.5 would work.

Do you prefer the 14805 over the 14816? If so why? Have you seen or heard the 14816? Sorry about all the questions. But it is greatly apreciated!

Klepto, you dropped it with the stock wheels?
(just got my baby back from the shop after being violated by red-light runner, thinking 'bout some tasteful welcome home mods, mebbe little slam-slam, nothing too low).
I've been doing a little searching/reading, (and ur ride btw looks very lovely -- and I like the stance -- and good look, posting your mods and kind advice for noobs),

How did it look w/ no lips 'n stock wheels? Am I going to feel like I have a bad haircut for a while?

How dark should I tint, the state law in Missouri is 35% in the front but I would like to go darker how dark do you think I can get them without much hassle from the police? Also if I get pulled over for the window tint is that a moving violation?

I would talk to other peeps in your area w/ dark tint, and see if they get hassled. Try 15 or 20% on the sides and 35% on front and rear.

And being pulled over for tint isnt a moving violation. Moving violations are basically any illeagal maneuvers on roadways.

2.2Clean, Hey man... you got killer taste. I'm glad not to see another ricer. Take your time and do it right. Coilovers, rims, nice audio...(JVC or Sony), tint, maybe a well done body kit... (not the stupid ricer shit), and certainly a nice OEM spoiler. I bet you can make it sweet and best of all CLEAN.

Just do it as you can. Oh, welcome and don't pay attention to the hater from above.

Nah, just trying to make a point. Too many ruined threads.

I have KYB AGX and love them. I am looking into exhaust. I have the clear corners and the NOKYA / Polard combo. This thread gave me the muffler I want... 14805? I'll read back.
