Wow, that is one clean car! Very nice looking. Looks like you have a black interior too, which is always a plus. If only those rims were 2+" bigger they would look pretty

WOW, that car is really clean and in excellent shape for the year. What's the mileage? The rims look nice, but as stated above a lil small. Much better than the regular wheels. I think the car would look much better/agressive with the rear lip installed instead of the OEM mudflaps. Some 02-03 tails would complete the look when done along with some 3A exhaust tips.

Your car is very much like my own but your paint job is in great condition.

The paint on my front bumper and lip is in bad shape.

Very clean bro, where do you stay at in Tampa? I don't think I've seen you around. I replied to you on the other thread. The first thing I would do, since it's no big hassle on labor or your wallet, I would do the mesh grille DIY. For suspension, I love it slammed but if you want a subtle drop then I think the H&Rs would be good enough. Also the 02-03 Tail lights would be a good start for any black TLs.

Tein H tech also does about 1.5f/1r as well. I'm considering them myself.

For springs, get Eibachs or H&R Race and a good set of struts. Or get coilovers if you can spend a bit more.

Some good shocks if you are just doing a subtle drop Tokico HP, KYB GR-2. Some better ones: Koni Yellow, Tokico Illumina.

My Tein Basic coilovers ride better than stock and I have them at the lowest they can go. Don't the Basics cost as much as a good pair of springs and shocks now??

Trust me, the right set of coilovers are worth it. Specially when you have to take the car to the dealer or something, and you need to raise up the car so they can drive the car up on the ramp or whatever. Things like that, you will need to adjust the ride height.

Meh, the ride comfort and ability to raise it up when needed is well worth it to me.

I was only planing to do a 1 1/2'' front and 1'' rear drop. But ill take a look at the Tein Basics and compare whats the best for the $
