Post Finally picked her up!

I finally picked her up Friday after waiting for a month and all I can say is I am in love. In two days I have managed to rack up 220 miles and have no idea where I drove.
I do have a dilema though, maybe you guys can give me your opinions...I have about $1,000 left to play with right now, what should I do? Put it towards rims (the ones I want are a bit pricey) or do a complete suspension upgrade? Meaning Comptech springs & sway bars and Tokico Illumina 5 way adjustables? (I have the comptech springs on order already which I can swing paying for by other means if need be.) Either way they'll both get done, it's a matter of which to do 1st. My logic right now is saying the suspension b/c I get more bang for the buck. I wanted to see what you guys would do. Thanks for your opinions!

If you got $1000 to play with, then get the complete suspension upgrade because you really can't get good rims for that amount of money.
BTW, congrats and welcome!

I know, the rims I'm looking at are $3,100 with tires. I'd have to tap the credit card for $2,100 which I am a bit hesitant on.

Since you already have $1000 to play with, save it and put it towards the larger purchase, rims!!! I got springs first and I'm having a hard time saving for the wheels.

I got my springs and it was great but now the joy is wearing off and i need to do something else to my car! If you get the springs you wont be dissapointed. If i were you i would save and get the rims you really want. thats what im doing.

You can do Springs, Sways, and Cold-Air Intake for just under $1000.

I had rather get the coilover if you are willing to spend the money on suspension.

Then get the sway, you are all set!!!
