damn soldier.... I would do spring with the body kit and rims.. Coilovers would be nice but you can get better ride with springs and new shocks, plus it cost less. Coilovers gives you the luxury of adjusting your height, but thats a pain to adjust all the time. Besides that, your all set.

Not exactly my order of priority but whatever makes you happy. You're looking at $7,000+ in mods not including installs.

Instead of Laughing at the Idea of Drilled Pads tell me why they bad and what I should get instead. Also, whats a H22?

Im asking what do you guys thinks I should do first etc.. Show me what priority you guys would do it in so I can get an idea.

7 grand is about right Ive priced it out. But with a paint job and a system put into it. Then some labor. 10-11 grand.

You drill rotors not brake pads. That's why I laughed.

Hey fellow soldier...

Suspension > Brakes > Wheels > Headers > Mugen + Thermoblok > Exhaust > Supercharger

That's the order I did everything in.

You will have much more appreciation when you can turn corners quick, brake quicker, speed up faster, sound meaner, and smoke 90% of the cars on the road to the next stoplight

I'd go with these....

Suspension
Headers
Intake
Brakes
Wheels
Exhaust

Or just screw all that and get the headers and a supercharger.

Those are both cooling mods.

Just search for Thermoblock and you'll get tons of useful info. All_Motor did a review on the product too.

Btw. I started with Intake/exhaust, and just picked up coilovers. Then tint, and after that it'll either be wheels or headers.
