Drop then exhaust.

If you want a decent, modest sound *only* - hack the stock exhuast.
If you want sound *and* HP gains - XLR8 (or ATLP or other after market).

It really depends on whether you want engine performance or suspension performance/looks. Both are great mods and you won't be disappointed with either.

You have the wheels and the kit. Gotta do the drop so it looks right.

well I don't want to do coilovers now if I can save money on the install when I move. What springs should I get to match with shocks later?

well i know everyone said to get coils done before exhaust, but I rather wait till I move to get the coils done so I don't pay out the ass. So I've decided to get the progess rsb and get a xlr8 exhaust, not sure if I want resonated or non-resonated... leaning more towards non.

Something tells me your heading to Ft. Bragg. My brother in law was a Ranger there. Good luck with your modding projects.

Since you have the A-Spec body kit and 18" wheels I would definately get Tein Basic or SS FIRST. That will make her look awesome!

Then do XLR8 exhaust and XLR8 J-Pipe.

If your're going to get Coil-Overs, it's a one time install.

If you're going to do Shock & Springs, separetly, it's a two time install. My plan is H&R Sports (already done) and Koni/Neuspeed SP3 Yellows later ( ). Since it's DIY, no extra install costs for the multiple install.

mmade22 has H&R Sport and Koni Yellows (not the Nuespeed SP3, the standard Koni Yellows). Looks great on his 18's.

So, with the susp, you need to decide what is the best option for ride/handling/cost/flexibility and whether you're willing do a second install if needed.

With patience, I am sure you can get hooked up with some of us NC guys to assist a DIY.

Yea thats why I think its in my best interest to wait, im not paying 400 for coil install. I rather do everything else and wait for some help from the NC crew.

We can help you in the install. A little advice...Black Market, get the Koni's cheap used and add the H&R springs to that. Great combo. I can help you out but it needs to be the struts and springs at the same time. I hate doing things twice.....
