Hmmm...What To Get Now?

Well I have about $1000, and I don't know what to get with it. I was thinking of upgrading my exhaust. I currently have the HKS Super Dragger axle back on, and I was thinking of upgrading to the Greddy EVO 2 CatBack. I'm just not sure if its really worth it. I haven't heard the Greddy EVO 2 CatBack up close, but if it is that much louder than the HKS, I'd love to upgrade.

Also, someone from this site is selling RH C2's in the black market. Now, those are my favorite rims, the guy is local, and the price is nice...The only problem is they are 17's, I'm not really sure, but isn't that gonna look kinda small on my car? If they were 18's I'd definitly jump on it 100% sure. I just don't know if they're gonna be TOO small.

If anyone has any suggestions on what I should buy next, go right ahead and let me know. My mod list is in my sig, so tell me what I'm missing that you think should be there, thanks!

My vote is wait til after winter for wheels. And go with 18's. I had 19 inch Mod Se7ens and they were magnets for pot holes in the North East and the pot holes almost always won.

Another option would be to sell your current brake set up and get a BBK. I liked having wheels on my car, but a BBK would have been a much better investment if you have to choose. Just my

gotta agree with him here. throw those tein springs out and get some suspension components.

coilovers, rear/front sway, strut, etc.
