Welcome to the forum !!

Tokico Blues seem to be a real popular choice as are the Koni Yellows...

Check out the Tires, Wheels and Suspension forum:

blues non-adjustable, konis are very pricey, illuminas are the best choice

the only pic i have where you can mostly see it is this one. and the height of the drop is okay. i just wish the rear were a little more even. as i said, i went to the montains and the handling from this setup was great. the only pain is that you have to go back and undo the rear seat to adjust the stiffness of the rear shocks and back again.

Tokico HP/Illuminas or KONI Yellows for the best.

For an exhaust Comptech axlebacks for some throatiness and style since the exhaust really isn't a HP maker.

Headers: Comptech for the quality, DC Sports is also good,; if you are in CA you have to get Comptech's for the CARB approval. If you want something cheap that actually fits, unlike most of the cheap headers, get the XS Power. They do have a wooshing sound though like most of the cheap headers b/c of a cheap flex pipe.

Comptech's axleback mufflers dont make much HP?.. so which axleback setup is a good one?
or does Comptech's cat-back exhaust qualify as a good one? if not, which exhaust setup?

thanks

No aftermarket mufflers make much HP cause the stock system is already free flowing. It's basically a sound & look upgrade.
